Tasty Tuesday!

“Everyone who enjoys thinks that the principal thing to the tree is the fruit, but in point of fact the principal thing to it is the seed. Herein lies the difference between them that create and them that enjoy.”
-Friedrich Nietzsche

Hello! I hope you are having a wonderful day. The following recipe is a delight, especially if you like bourbon! It is not hard to make, but it does require some preparation a day or two prior to serving.

I like to use fresh berries, but if you are in a pinch frozen berries can be used also. Mint is a pretty garnish, but definitely not necessary! Enjoy!

“Better than any argument is to rise at dawn and pick dew-wet red berries in a cup.”
-Wendell Berry
