The Gemini
(Makes 2)
- 4 ounces grapefruit juice, strained
- 3 ounces St-Germain liqueur
- 2 ounces vodka
- Ice cubes
- Prosecco (Italian sparkling wine)

Directions:
- Mix grapefruit juice, St-Germain, vodka, and ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake and strain into 2 chilled glasses. Top with Prosecco.
- Serve each with a grapefruit twist.

Mom: Oh, was I thinking of someone else? Dagny, maybe?
Ava: No, you were thinking of Olivia.

Ava and I made these golf cupcakes for Father’s Day. Since Bryan’s only request for the day was to watch the U.S. Open, they seemed fitting! He did think it would be more realistic if his golf ball was in the sand trap rather than by the pin, though…
