Two delicious NYE cocktails. One tangy black raspberry to celebrate the sunset on 2022, and the other a spiked tequila sunrise bubbly to ring in the new year!

Continue ReadingAfter a boozy brunch for New Year’s Eve, what do you need? That’s right–a boozy brunch for New Year’s Day! Obviously. Since both Tyler and I had some friends visiting for our New Year’s Eve party, we wanted to take them to a full out brunch and try a new place! Penn Commons brunch was a brunch to rival Fuego’s! You can read the review for that, but Fuego’s has since closed and it won’t do you much good. Penn Commons might even surpass it in food.

The mimosa bar for our New Year’s Eve Countdown Bash came out super cute! I decided that four was the perfect number: four fruits, four juices, four champagnes! Champagne Now we decided to use Andre as the champagne. It’s not classy, but if you’re going to mix with super sweet juices and mix the champagne, no need for the good stuff. We did reserve a bottle of “good stuff” for the actual midnight toast though! For champagne varietals, we had: (1) Brut, (2) Extra Dry, (3) Spumante, and (4) Blush. We also had some sparkling cider which is a perfect non-alcoholic varietal!…
