We like our cocktails. Okay, we like our wine, too... but for New Year's we firmly believe you need a cocktail. This champagne Cosmopolitan Cocktail Recipe will satisfy them all. Picky drinkers, well they are dealt with the champagne ... mixed drink people, they get vodka...
We've already shared our classic mojito recipe with you, so we thought we should add a spin and share this blueberry mojito recipe. So easy and so fresh. You can use fresh or frozen and thawed blueberries for this, so while it may look like a summer drink, this is totally doable all year round.
Alright, here's mine.... you saw Adam's right, the Champagne Cosmo... it is completely delicious, but I needed to share one of my own, well not really my own, it is inspired by the St. Germain website, but, who cares, I drank it. Have you ever had St. Germain?

We live in a comfortable little cul-de-sac here in Utah and have some of the best neighbors! Now that the weather is starting to warm up, we like to get together with our neighbors on a warm spring or summer evening and grill up some chicken or hot dogs and have a fun little barbecue.
