Grand Final brunch at our place...

Today is the AFL (Australian Football League) Grand final the holiest of holy days for fans (I am not), but living in a houseful of men, this becomes an excuse for a barbecue. This year we decided to try something different - a brunch that took literally 20 minutes to prepare and serve. No prizes for guessing who had to prepare it. Anyway, judging from it's popularity, I decided to share the 'recipes'...

Sunshine cocktail
