This month’s cocktail recipe is of course in honor of my brand new Southern-set release, ON THE VERGE OF I DO.  You can bet Kara & Eli & all of the Kincaids enjoy their fair share of these on a lazy Sunday afternoon. 

The Perfect Mint Julep

Ingredients:

2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups of water
sprigs of fresh mint
Kentucky Bourbon or Whiskey (high quality) (2 ounces per serving)

Directions:

Make a simple syrup by boiling sugar and water together for five minutes.
Cool and place in a covered container with six or eight sprigs of fresh mint, then refrigerate overnight.
Make one julep at a time by filling a julep cup with crushed ice, adding one tablespoon of mint syrup and two ounces of Kentucky Bourbon or Whiskey.
Stir rapidly with a spoon to frost the outside of the cup.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.

Sip slowly while sitting on the veranda enjoying ON THE VERGE OF I DO. :winkwink

I’m so excited, I absolutely could not wait to share this with you.

I had a BOBCAT in my yard yesterday!

I’ve seen a couple of bobcats in my life, but only when I was out & about taking wilderness drives with my dad.  Never this up-close before!

But there it was, right in my front yard, just sitting there.  So close, I was able to sneak up & take a picture.

Oh, I’m sorry…did you think I meant an actual felis rufus bobcat of the furry, four-legged variety?

Nah, it was just one of these.

We still have to hand out one final autographed copy of my April Harlequin Desire (officially on sale Tuesday, April 3rd!!!) ON THE VERGE OF I DO from this week’s Free Book Friday giveaway—& that’s no April Fool’s joke. :kitty
