“Reality is an illusion created by a lack of alcohol.” — N.F. Simpson
A cold winter’s day and a countdown to the beginning of a New Year…although my day began early and was filled with meetings I still squeezed in some time in the kitchen..my main objective was to come up with a non-alcoholic cocktail good enough to serve on New Year’s Eve.
. You can dress it up by serving with orange or lemon rinds cut creatively , fresh strawberries, berries and some fresh mint leaves. The oranges I used are the Tarocco from Sicily, but you can also use juice from navel oranges…
So good..don’t think you will miss the alcohol…. For your New Year’s Eve Celebration, check out The Basic Art of Cocktails filled with alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, get it at Amazon and Kindle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IRQR4NA/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
