Southern Fun
Welcome! Glad you are here. Tonight we are having a cocktail party!
with Between Naps on the Porch
I found these adorable cocktail napkins. They each have the name of a cocktail and then a cute little character for each. Click on the first one to scroll through and see all 8.
Are those cute, or what?
Grab a glass.
And one of these retro canape trays.
Check out the flowers while your at it.
And join me for a cocktail out on the porch!
Today’s Lagniappe: Cuba Libre
I wasn’t familiar with this cocktail when I saw the napkin. It is a drink with a story (gotta love that). If you prefer a non-alcoholic drink, just omit the rum and you will still have a very tasty drink.
The Cuba Libre (Spanish for Free Cuba) originated around 1900 in Havana, Cuba during the Spanish-American War. Patriots aiding Cuba often toasted the West Indian Island and its freedom with this rum, cola, and lime cocktail.
- 1-1/2 oz. dark or white rum
- Juice of half a lime
- Ice
- Coca-Cola

I think that they should use your tablescape on an episode of “Mad Men”. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay

I prefer non-alcohol, but I do like the Old-Fashioned napkin the best.

Cocktails make my hot flashes come one right after the other.
But your porch looks inviting.

Those are very cute cocktail napkins and a great conversation piece at the cocktail party. I enjoyed watching the video of cocktail napkins, too.
Tablescaping Escapades is having its first give-a-way. Please stop by and check it out.
All the Best,
