A Weeknight Party Girl's New Year's Eve

I think I look forward to New Year's Eve more than any other holiday {although, I say that for every holiday, so there's a chance I'm lying}.  I love the champagne, the start of a new year, the goal of staying awake past 10pm.  I love it all. 

I'm not a resolution type of gal.  I prefer to have a good time and see where that takes me.

This year for New Year's Eve I partnered with my girls, MJ of Pars Caeli, Jennifer of Classic Play, Amy of This Heart of Mine, and Melissa of Lulu the Baker - and our awesome friends at 

Red Stamp 

to plan the coolest New Year's Eve ever.  I made the cocktail and 

Red Stamp

 did the rest.

For our New Year's celebration I created a seasonally perfect cocktail filled with lemons and sparkles and glitter - the Lemon Sorbet Champagne Float.  

Want to know what's really cool?!?  Red Stamp is posting my cocktail recipe on their site and you can get it printed on their awesome paper and have it on your bar.  Set out the ingredients - with the printed recipe - and guests can mix their own cocktail.

Charm Hour :: Michelada

Hey, have you had a Michelada?  How do you make yours?  I've heard everything from Clamato to plain tomato juice to spicy beer.  I like mine with lime juice, hot sauce and an amazingly spicy rim.  I also like it over ice, but that's totally optional.

Charm Hour :: Thom Collins
Ali Hedin's summer cocktail - Tom Collins

It seems like the ultimate summer cocktail - the Tom Collins.  Mostly because I hear about it in the movies.  Then I discovered it's basically gin spiked lemonade and I was like H-E-L-L-O!  So here it is, my version with a little sparkling water to top it off.  And unlike it's original, it's spelled the way Thom was meant to be spelled, the way my dad spells it.  Consider it an homage to him.  He who loves gin and likes to say he shorted "Thomas" by just dropping the "ass."  

Hardy har har and cheers my dears.
