It’s Friday!
And I’m keeping the pink theme going through the end of March to celebrate the launch of A Taste of Paris Goes PINK, an all-female culinary trip to Paris in April 2019. Grab your daughter, mother, and friends to join me for this boutique culinary excursion of a lifetime. Seats are going FAST!
Since it’s the weekend, how about an aperitif, as the French would say!
Sometimes after a long week, I just need to chill with a cocktail and some girlfriends.
My no -fuss Grapefruit Martini – a juicy balance of sweet and tart – is the ideal cocktail to serve friends or just bring the week to a close.
It’s not too sweet so if one drink won’t flip your mood, no worries, you can have a few.
You know they say, we taste with our eyes first, and this pretty pink martini would look fetching served in Luigi Bormioli retro chic glasses.
Are you planning a party for lots of BFF’s? The more the merrier, I always say!
Be sure you are stocked up on wine charms to help everyone keep their drinks straight. Below are a few of my on-trend favs. The jeweled bees by Joanna Buchanan have been buzzing around in my head since I first laid eyes on them. I am not sure how long I can resist temptation!

As always; drink responsibly and do not drive!
