Flower Martinis ~ Celebrate (Non Alcoholic Recipe Included)

[Guest guest]

Here's a toast with flowers and happiness to those who've recently

passed, including my Grandma, my cousin, Teresea's loved one, Ronald

Reagan, Ray Charles, our brave soldiers, and to all those who've passed

some time ago too (including my dad, and other loved ones of everyone).

 

Have a great weekend folks! Celebrate life - yours, those who've come

before you and those who will come long after you're gone!

 

(And if you can't do the alcohol - make a mocktail Martinellini - see

last recipe)
