Hellebores and Meyer Lemons

Its cocktail time! Helleborus x hybridus cocktails, that is! Yesterday I came to the ugly realization that I'm allergic to Daphne odora and Edgeworthia chrysantha and can't have their lovely blooms in the house. Today while the glorious sun was shining, I cut some Helleborus blooms to enjoy inside. Searching for the perfect vase, I came across these champagne cocktail glasses - perfect! The stem raises the bloom from the table and the varying sizes make a nice arrangement.




And now for the Meyer lemons part of this post...my favorite seasonal cocktail! 

Toss a few ice cubes in a cocktail shaker and add
1 ounce of your favorite vodka
juice from one Meyer lemon
1/2 squeeze light Agave syrup
Shake and pour into a cocktail glass
Lovely!

I love the idea of the cocktail glass as a flower vase, can be a great table centerpiece. So simple yet elegant.
