Idk about you, but I can hardly believe NYE is here. And even though it was the weirdest year ever, there's a lot to toast - especially to the future! To celebrate, I'm making a few cocktails to share with my housemates while we play games and hang out at home. These three recipes, from my fave wine gal on Insta, @samanthasommelier, will make you feel like you're at a fancy cocktail bar instead of sitting on your parent's couch.
1. Cranberry Mimosa
Ingredients: 1 small bottle Pomegranate, juice, 1 cup pomegranate seeds, 6 rosemary sprigs, 2 bottles of Chateau Ste. Michelle Bubbly
Step 1: Fill each flute halfway with the bubbly.
Step 2: Add a touch of pomegranate juice to each glass until desired color is achieved.
Step 3: Gently drop in pomegranate seeds for decor. Garnish each glass with a sprig of rosemary.
