It’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow! I love NYE – a new year stretches before you, and hopefully you are starting it with friends and family by your side. Maybe you’re throwing a party or going to one (or maybe you’re kicking back on the couch because babysitters cost a mortgage payment on NYE), and you want something delicious to drink. I have you covered! This is my super special recipe for Sparkle Punch. You can make it in two minutes and then forget about it until the ball drops. Perfect!
