Hello Recipe Club,
Most folks we know like to ring in the new year with a cocktail or two. Today I
have four cocktail recipes for you to enjoy. Two of them include champagne which
is a traditional beverage of choice on New Year's Eve. I can drink one glass of
champagne, two gives me a headache, but mixed into a cocktail with other
ingredients, I am usually fine. Remember to drink responsibly and be attentive
to your guests.
