Michelle's Fuzzy Peach Iced Teas
Refreshing on a hot summer day, I came up with this recipe after a long day of house-hunting. A fun, grown-up twist on the classic iced tea. Also linked to my Mocktail version.
Pass the ice! :)

Cutting Back On Booze?
You can eliminate most, if not all, of the alcohol in the cocktail recipes I feature and write about. To find heavenly recipes for beverages that don't involve any booze at all, check out my always-growing section on Mocktails (which are alcohol-free cocktails). You'll enjoy all of the fun without sacrificing taste!
Michelle's Swizzle-Stick Tip
How much liquor to buy? When planning your next cocktail party, count on each person consuming about two drinks every hour. You'll need to stock your bar with a variety of different liqueurs, beer, wines, and alcohol because your guests won't all be drinking the same thing, but using this guideline you can figure out your party booze budget.

| Notes On A Cocktail Napkin...
|
Last week, I received the ad for my new book. It was one of the most exciting moments of my life! I had to write my own bio, of course, but there was some very impressive promo for the book that I had only just then seen for the first time. Along with the cover graphic, which I created (although it was tweaked by two awesome digital artists who work in-house for the publishing company) the ad had an ISBN number (wow!) and my name listed as the author. I'm really looking forward to sharing the details with everyone, and since the deadline for the text is in a few weeks I will be able to do so very soon.
Please note that I am in the midst of adding new cocktail subjects and dividing them into subcategories on the main Cocktails site, so I really appreciate your patience while I move them to their new homes. I've doubled the database since December, when I took over the site, so you can imagine the amount of recipes I'm dealing with :) I think everything is close to being done, though.
Here are a few subscriber-only links to recipes that site visitors can't get to yet:
» Classic Champagne Cocktail
» Cassis Cocktail
» Shaken Margarita Cocktail
» Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri
» Tequila Sunrise
» Sex on the Beach
Happy Canada Day, and Happy Fourth! :)
