Ring In The New Year With A New Cocktail Recipe

Print PDF

Well Noche Buena y día de Navidad is past. Now we turn to New Years Eve! And don’t worry if you over indulged during the festivities. There is plenty of time for diets, cleansings and all matter of austere resolutions once January 1^st rolls around. I may even join you in a few. Until then, there is another party to think about!

I never host New Years Eve. I’m usually still shell shocked from hosting Noche Buena. But I always bring something homemade wherever I go. This year I’ll be taking the ingredients to make two fun and festive drinks to a friend’s party. Why don’t you give them try this year too?
