southern belle - bourbon cocktail

This cocktail is a perfect summer afternoon thirst quencher.

The flavours make me think of the American south and, since today is my last day in New Orleans, it couldn't be a more fitting farewell to our little vacation.

Tomorrow Jonas and I will fly home to the cold winter weather and our jobs. Sigh.
