A Drink & A Tripod, Life is good. {St~Germain Cocktail II}

St~Germain Cocktail II

There are so many things that bring me joy about this picture... of course the most obvious is that it's a cocktail and I drank this cocktail on Friday, which also made me giddy with joy... because I am so ready for the weekend, and it's a THREE DAY WEEKEND, can it get better?  


WOOT WOOT!


What else do I love?

• Cupcake Prosecco
• St~Germain
• Fresh Mint from Mr. Donald Kent's garden
• my new boards that Olga & Steve made for me

AND.... the sharpness that my tripod is gifting me.  OMG.  $30 and I feel like I moved ahead like 25 squares in the photography game of life.

Thank you Katherine Martinelli.  Katherine is an awesome food photographer & writer that I've followed for a while.  A month or so ago I came across an old blog she wrote called "7 Top Food Photography Tips" which I read and took to heart.  Tip #2.... GET A TRIPOD.  I operate on a delay so it took me a month but it arrived and WOW.

Now, I need to go and implement Tip#3 and so on.... I love the growth.

I love it so much that I think we should drink to that!

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED:

a rocks glass packed with ice

4-5 ounces Prosecco

1 ounce St~Germain

a sprig or two of mint

HERE'S WHAT YOU DO:

Fill ice packed glass with champagne, add mint and top with St~Germain.

You are welcome.

XXOO

p.s. I'd like to shout to Zested which inspired this cocktail, I didn't have cucumber so it's not really her drink {THIS time!}.... but she inspired it this time {this isn't my 1st St~Germain cocktail} and so I want to nod her way.... she has an awesome blog.
