A Botanical Spirit Lift.

I did my taxes today.

Not fun.

Tossing the process aside - as that wasn't the "not fun" part - it was the end result.

For the first time in a number of years (possibly since I was married), I owed on both Federal and State.

So despite being only halfway through my Dry Quarter (which I typically do every Q1)... I needed a this today...

The flowers and the cocktail.

A St. Germain Margarita. 

And in case you were curious... 

• 1 ounce of St. Germain
• 1.5 ounces of tequila blanco
• Juice from 1 lime (about an ounce of juice)

Shake in a cocktail shaker. Hard.

A gentle sour bite with floral water.

Enchanting. 

Helpful in shifting my mood.
