Holiday Hawaiian Iced Teas from Kat and Stone Bastion

I tapped the mic. “This thing on?”

Hannah nudged me, shaking her head. “Cade, they can hear you.” Two girls in the back raised their pale yellow drinks. One shouted. “Loud and clear!”

“Good. You all have a glass of our favorite Christmastime drink. Holiday Hawaiian Iced Teas.” Hannah handed me the shaker. “I’ll demonstrate while Hannah lists out the ingredients.”

She nodded. “Your gift stockings have the recipe plus a special drink garnish.”

Then she rattled off the directions, and I followed them, beginning with adding ice to the shaker.

2 cups ice cubes

1 ounce vodka

1 ounce gin

1 ounce white tequila

1 ounce white rum

1/2 ounce white triple sec

1 1/2 ounces pineapple juice

Splash of 7-Up

As I made our drinks, my thoughts wandered back to when I’d introduced Hannah to the drink as we’d planned the insanity of THREE CHRISTMASES…

Hannah shook her head and leaned forward, grabbing the Hawaiian iced tea I’d made for her earlier. She hummed with pleasure as she took a few long pulls off her straw.

“Go easy on that, Maestro. It’s deadly if not respected.”

She grinned before sucking down one more swallow of the strong tropical drink. Then she put the glass back down. “I’ll make it last. But you should be careful giving me drinks that taste so damn good.”

“And finally,” Hannah added, snapping me back into the present, “because it’s a holiday drink, add a festive garnish. In your stockings, you each have a Mini Gingerbread House Mug Topper from Williams Sonoma as inspiration.”

I grumbled, “Because a cinnamon stick with a tropical drink is just wrong.”

About THREE CHRISTMASES

As the holiday season approaches in this fourth book in the No Weddings Series, Cade Michaelson strives to be better at balancing work and love, and Hannah Martin’s growing ability to trust is put to the test.

Lust and friendship brought us together, but with the increasing demands of my two businesses, Hannah’s thriving bakery, and our successful event-planning company, stability becomes my focus. Then a once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity takes me to the West Coast, and everything goes into a tailspin.

Laughter, love, and excitement fill our lives, but Cade refuses to settle into the wonderful bliss we’ve found—he wants spectacular fireworks and an unshakable foundation. Driven like no one I’ve ever met, Cade insists a dream job across the country will be better for our future together, but I worry about whether we can survive the present apart.

When intimate time diminishes…and lives get more hectic…

Will a little bit of faith be all that it takes? Or will the sacrifice to get there be too great?
