Throwback Thursday, Creamsicle Mimosas

I have Mimosas on my mind this week,

as we are enjoying the last of the Mimosa Muffins

from CC’s Tea Party

I’m also dreaming of beach time

and having a cool cocktail by the pool

How about a mimosa?

A Creamsicle Mimosa?

Champagne of course…

And orange sherbet!

Put a scoop of sherbet orange sherbet in a glass

I used margarita glasses

putting the scoop of sherbet in the center

and pouring the champagne over it

When you add the champagne

it gets all foamy, creamy, dreamy

Let the sherbet melt into the bubbly

sit back and relax, enjoy the view…

Actually I am totally dreaming today…

In reality our pool looks like this

And our pier still looks like this

😢

Yep, that pretty green color is the result of a broken pool pump

The pool service people said they ordered one

but because of the pandemic, getting parts is slow…

I was planning to go there for a couple of weeks,

with family joining me most of that time around Memorial Day

but with the pool closed,

the pier still not rebuilt

and now the pipeline crisis and gas shortage…

we might not be able to go at all

I hope to soon be drinking champagne to celebrate

rather than drowning my sorrows!
