Christmas Sparkler






  




I would like to wish all of my friends, followers and readers a Christmas full of love, great food and the odd cocktail or three. Thank you for being a huge part of my blog. Without you it would just be me talking to myself and goodness knows enough of that goes on around here already.

Happy, happy Christmas!

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour the vodka, chambord  and a squeeze of lime juice into the shaker and shake until the mix is super cold.

  3. Yum, I love me a bit of Christmas spirit(s), particularly if it's as pretty as this! I stocked up on cocktail ingredients yesterday but I didn't buy any Chambord, I think I might have to make a last minute run to the liquor store. Merry Christmas Jen, thanks for sharing this blogging year with us. Looking forward to another year of recipes, stories and fabulous humour (referring to your unmatched wit, of course!) xx

    1. I'm a sucker for the bottles... no really. I think I like the bottles the alcohol comes in more than the alcohol itself... or, at least as much... I hope you had an amazing Christmas Laura. I look forward to exchanging food ideas (and witticisms) with you in the coming year. I hope your New Year is a blast.

    1. Thank you so much Sam. I love getting your comments and knowing that my husband has to face you day after day with the knowledge that you know what he's had for dinner and dessert the night before. I hope you had a delicious Christmas and that your New Year starts with a BANG! (in the best possible way).

    1. Thanks Maria. I hope you had a magical Christmas and that you enjoy a pretty blushing cocktail to bring in the New Year... I hear rose is THE colour for 2014! (I made that up, but it sound plausible don't you think? I think we could make it happen.)
