Raspberry Long Island Ice Tea

Did you ever have a time in your life where you were at a cross road and wondered which way to go? Do you chose the path that is well traveled, familiar and guaranteed? Or do you choose what you are passionate about and hope that is enough to create something successful?

I suppose we all have these questions at some point in our lives, mine just happened to hit me all at once! Needless to say, this made for a very interesting two weeks.

My handsome hubby has been very understanding and has even created a few great cocktails in the evening. ( I have to admit, I have had more new cocktails these past two weeks than I have had in months!)

This recipe is perfect to serve at a barbecue or just enjoy on the porch on a warm spring night.
