Ginny Dubes

For when Tuesday strikes!

Life is hard. Being beautiful is harder. And being a world-famous celebrity is the pits! So when it's "one of those days" and 9:00 o'clock AM rolls around, I reach for a good ol' fruit smoothie (with a kick) to get me going.

This recipe was inspired by the late Queen Liz's favourite cocktail, a Gin and Dubonnet, but with extra lemon zing and the warmth of ginger.
