happy new year!

Happy New Year everyone!

We will be sipping these drinks tonight as we celebrate with friends.

Pimm's Cups are a favorite of mine - and great for a long evening party since they are not too potent. Slice a cucumber, an orange, and a lemon and put them in a pitcher with a sprig or two of mint. Fill the pitcher with Pimm's and let macerate until the party starts. When ready to serve fill a glass with ice and fill halfway with Pimm's mixure and top the glass with ginger beer or ginger ale.

The red drink in the photo is a recipe I found in Saveur. It was a huge hit, and so pretty.

Enjoy!
