ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite flag pictures. The drink looks delicious. I bet it goes down easy too. We will have to give this one a try. Enjoy your time in Maine!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July to you and all Americans. Love the cocktail :)
ReplyDeleteNot sure I would like the cocktail, since I am not into Tequila, but it certainly looks pretty enough :-)
ReplyDeleteMost of all, though, I like your current header!
Enjoy the day; 4th of July does not have any special meaning over here, but I know it is an important day in your country.
Love the first photo of Maine. Very New England and patriotic. Your colorful cocktail sounds delicious and great photo there too. Happy 4th of July weekend.

Wow! What a great cocktail! And yes it IS one of the finest sentences ever written! I woke up to it on the 4th coming from my radio alarm ... the hosts of NHPR teamed up to read the Declaration of Independence in its entirety to the radio audience as a way to start the day ... very cool. It snapped me wide awake!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a wonderful time in Maine! With a cocktail like that, no worries, right?

ReplyDeleteThat is a snappy looking cocktail, like the idea of anything watermelon flavoured.
Am counting down to a trip home to Plymouth in a few weeks time.
