Malibu Sunset Cocktail
The Captain and I try to view a sunset and sunrise whenever we travel… and I have to tell you that we have viewed some amazing sunrises and sunsets! (We check them out at home too!)
We make it a point to rise early and find the best vantage point for taking pictures and enjoying the beauty that surrounds us daily.
We also like to take pictures of the sunset and there is something relaxing about having a cool drink and watching the sun go down…or come up.
On our honeymoon, we climbed (and rode camels) to the top of a mountain in Egypt just to view a sunrise…..Breathtaking!
And that evening we watched a sunset over the Red Sea.
Spectacular!
This cocktail just looks like a beautiful sunset….almost too pretty to drink….but try it anyway, it is a keeper!
[just like the Captain! 😉 ]
Always drink in moderation or if you are like me…I drink it without the booze…it is just as pretty and tastes even better. ..but that is just me.
