As pretty as a Round Top sunset!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I’m one of those people who can hold their alcohol. Normally a few sips of a cocktail and my eyes are blurring and after drinking half a drink my lips are numb. But during these trying times of being quarantined I’ve developed the habit of trying new cocktails around 5:00 in the afternoon. I love anything served in a martini glass and would rather have a cocktail over a glass of wine.<\/p>\n

So when I came up with this cocktail one afternoon it turned out to be such a pretty color I decided to call it a Round Top Sunset Cocktail.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There is nothing prettier, I think, than a Round Top, Texas sunset (or sunrise). Our son, Paul, and his wife, Brooke, are opening a brewery in Round Top sometime this fall and I can’t wait to be there for the first beer they serve. We have been going over there on and off for almost a year helping them work on a farmhouse that they had moved onto their property. At the brewery is underway in downtown Round Top. Even though I’m not a beer drinker it’s going to be fun to watch them run their business.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen a lot of sunsets and sunrises there and one of the coolest thing is looking out the window in the morning and seeing cows within touching distance of their house. <\/p>\n

Isn’t this the most beautiful sunset?<\/p>\n

I also made some candied orange slices with the orange that I juiced. The strips were delicious.<\/p>\n
