A Friday evening cocktail, with a twist of travel...

Before we sign off for the weekend I wanted to share this amazing recipe for the Siam Sunray. What a fabulous combination of things I love:
1) Travel through South East Asia, and 
2) Cocktails! 
And given the sun has finally decided to show its face here in Sydney what better way to celebrate than with Thailand's new national drink! But get in quick people, the rain is forecast to return....
