Shaker One here~I'd like to give a special shout out to Shaker 2 for her magical tech skills.....without which we'd still be a blog with training wheels. Thanks you luscious lush!

Shake-a-tini!~

Hello and Happy Easter to all our Shaker pals. For all of you in Southern California- how did you enjoy your Easter Roll? Yes, a healthy earthquake made me feel like I'd already enjoyed a couple of our 'tinis. Spring is here and some ingredients on hand inspired me to create a new 'tini:

The Nasturtium Flip:

Vodka, fresh squeezed orange and key lime juice, a little sweetener, and egg white for foam and finished with a few dashes of Fee Bros Lemon Bitters. And yes, that's a nasturtium from my balcony garden!

Shaker 2 popped up to weigh in on this: 4 1/2 olives! Delicious. Summery, fresh, with possibilities for other pairings........

We shall play with this 'tini again.

For all of you who were looking for the easter 'tini.....check back tomorrow. There will be something tasting coming in to your e basket.

Happy Easter, Happy Spring, hope your day was lovely.
Shakers out.
