I wanted to make a sexy cocktail this week so you could have something awesome to make for Valentine’s Day. I flipped through a few of my books, looking for something that sounded interesting and wasn’t super complicated. I found the Black Rose, which just sounds seductive and, get this, it involves fire! The thing is, I made it and burned my finger in the process. Totally not sexy. It is good though and to be honest, I think you coud just squeeze the lemon peel and toss it in the drink rather than squeezing it and lighting it on fire. If you’re feeling daring you could watch this video first.
Cheers! To an excellent weekend filled with love!

Superb blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Thanks!
