Pretty in pink
We couldn’t help getting Snoop in our head when we created this one even though we’re pretty sure it’s not what he had in mind.
Laid back. With my mind on my money and my money on my mind.

- 1/4 cup honey

Yuuuuum. Interested in the addition of honey and elderflower liqueur… intriguing.
Nice to see something familiar here, we call it Gin Pomelo in the Philippines very common to those who save money as gin is reality inexpensive there. During my time is like. $0.25 per 330 mls.
Hi Ray, I am glad I found you here. I am having a problem logging on to your site from both firefox and safari. Are you working on your site? Sometimes certain sites get blocked here in HK, China? Hmmm..? I just wanted to wish you a happy New Year and I can see your making some tasty dishes but just can’t read up about them. Take care, BAM
That name is cooler.
Straight out of Compton 🙂
Weekend here we come! In addition I like your health thought with the grapefruit juice.M y family is all down with flu and colds so a little grapefruit juice sounds like the perfect cure or prevention for me, not the kids… Take care, BAM
That looks like a pitcher full of summer!
I can see me sipping this lovely cocktail out of a mammoth martini glass. What are you going to have?
I was hoping you were going to go there. My mind did the second I saw your title. 🙂 Perfect.
I’ll leave the gin to you guys. I’m sure you’ll appreciate one less cocktail to pour. Be aware, though, that I’m grabbing the empty pitcher as I head out the door. Really nice.
Sippin’ on gin and juice … oh yeah. This is some classy gin and juice. Snoop might like it.
I love this! I have never tried elderflower liqueur. It is about time!!
I wish I had orange flower water and elderflower liqueur to make this… where did you get them?
Elderflower liqueur should be at most liquor stores. Orange flower water you can get online at a place like Penzys or at a Middle Eastern market.
Thanks! I can’t wait to try this…
It’s awesome because of Snoop Dogg, er, Snoop Lion!
Love this. The title, the song, the recipe. Amazing.
this makes me wish it was summer all over again! sippin on gin and juice, laid back…
