The Rose Sisters' Special Ice Tea Recipe

Spring time is here! The flowers are blooming on Main Street in Keeneston. The horses are romping in the pastures, and the Derby hats are flying off the shelf at Southern Charms. Picnics, family get-togethers, friends grilling out, and the Kentucky Derby all have one thing in common: they are perfect for the Rose Sister's Special Ice Tea!  So, break out your favorite bourbon (Woodford Reserve & Marker's Mark are two of Kentucky's favorites) and make the Rose Sister's Special Ice Tea for your party! Here is the recipe:

In a one gallon pitcher mix 2 cups of unsweetened ice tea.
Add 1 cup sugar and stir.
Mix in 1 12 oz. can frozen orange juice and 1 12 oz can frozen limeade.  Stir until blended.
Pour in 1 750 ml bottle of your choice of Kentucky Bourbon and 7 cups of water.
Mix well and refrigerate until time to serve.
Enjoy!

Kathleen Brooks Announces Next Two Books

I have other authors I enjoy and look forward to reading their books.  No one can spin a yarn like Kathleen Brooks.  You do not want to miss any of them.  Start reading with Bluegrass State of Mind.  Romance, mystery, suspense and, best of all, ROTFLYGO.  You will want to move to Keeneston, Kentucky.

Thank you for all the great notes, which all end the same way - WHAT'S NEXT?! 
I'm excited to announce my next two books. This October WHISPERED LIES, the firstbook in my new Web of Lies series comes out. (Preorder at http://www.kathleen-brooks.com/web-lies-ser…/whispered-lies/)
THE BLUEGRASS CONTINUES! Don't worry, Keeneston has many more books to come in the future. The next book will be FOREVER SECRET.

Approximately mid October it will go up for preorder at all retailer when I get a set release date.

Winkies, Zinging Hoo-Has and the Keeneston Rose ladies

I shall forever have the image in my mind of Miss Violet lifting her nightgown and saying, "Boo!" Thank you for that Kathleen Brooks. It's right up there with the Rose ladies taking pictures of Matt's winkie and Riley's zinging hoo-ha. I haven't written an actual review as I haven't finished the latest Bluegrass installment (Forever Driven: Forever Bluegrass #4). If you have never come across the Bluegrass series of books, you are surely missing a real treat. Book # 1 - Bluegrass State of Mind. https://www.amazon.ca/Bluegrass-State-Mind-Book-ebook/dp/B00589BAWK/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1468965516&sr=1-1&keywords=bluegrass+state+of+mind
