Dedicated to Bree

I dedicate this “mojito” to a beautiful blessing in my life. She deserves so much more than a simple drink dedication. She is one special woman.
This is the same deva who created the Bree Pepper Blossom (another SO amazing drink). And, as I sent her the photos, I told her:

It reminds me of you – fresh, elegant, gorgeous, refreshing…everything that you are. If a drink could be intelligent, yours would be!

Thank you, honey bee! 🐝 (Bree).
