Acqua allo Zenzero looks like just what I need right now...I feel like plastic left in the sun. I love this post Albarosa! I love the "boards" you have created for each drink!!
Best,
Michelle
...and thanks for the link my friend:) Kelly is lucky for sure.
Albarosa, I love those images, where ever did you find them? Makes me want to start a little file of them.
Beautifully done post. The graphics and content are terrific. I adore a great drink as much as a fabulous meal. I have never heard of any of those & cannot wait to give them a try. Many thanks! Deborah

Hi Albarosa
What a 'refreshing' post! As I am a coffee lover I am drawn to try your recipe for Caffè Frappé. Having an appealing drink out of a well designed glass is a double bonus.
OMG!! Albarosa, are you serious?! Wow!! :-D I think I need to buy a 6/49 ticket this week!! ;-)
I'm sorry I didn't comment sooner -- I'm at the cottage with dial-up, and more or less out of touch with the blogging world. Everything online here is so slow.... I'm lucky I was able to get onto Gmail and then your blog tonight.
Thank you so much for the gorgeous bowl!! It's the perfect red accent for my soon-to-be renovated kitchen :-)
I'm truly thrilled and honoured to have won two fabulous gifts from two of my favourite Canadian bloggers :-)
THANK YOU!!!
Kelly
You have one of the coolest blogs I've found in a while. I hope you don't mind if I "steal" from you often (with credit, of course) for my Sucasa design sites.
