Hi Lisa, great to see you here!!

I hate to have to tell you this, but your answer to #9 is incorrect! If you want to try again, I can pretty much guarantee you'll do much better the next time around!

Gina, I'm sure you've figured out by now that you have #9 correct! Since you've decided to "take off" with the secret ingredients to the watermelon martinis, I think I'll post the answers next week when I get home!

Anyone else want to give it a shot!

Have a gorgeous day everyone!
