Are you finalizing your resolution lists? Preparing to celebrate on New Year’s Eve? Both? ‘Tis the season for contradictions! 🙂

I hear ya. I’ve been thinking hard about what I want for 2018… and I feel great about it. My resolution for 2018 is to find JOY.

Have you read the book, “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up,” by Marie Kondo? I love her philosophy on finding joy in everything you own. In 2018, I hope to find joy, and if not joy at least comfort, in the moments and decisions in my life.

To celebrate the start of what I’m hoping will be a fabulous year, I’m planning a New Year’s Eve full of joy. Full of family and friends, sharing a beautiful brunch together, and toasting to 2018.

What will I be drinking? Glad you asked!

My Watermelon & Elderflower Champagne Cocktail epitomizes what I hope 2018 will bring. Fun and sparkles. Amazing flavor. And, of course… joy!

Let’s be honest, I’m not one for saint-hood. My cooking and drinking will always be a combo of healthy and not-healthy. Moderation, always. So I love how this drink balances both. Sparkling wine, elderflower liquor, plus my new favorite juice, Tsamma Watermelon Juice (pronounced SAH-MAH), is loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and offers a rapid boost of hydration.

The brand was founded in 2014 by Sarah Frey (100% woman owned business) and is grown, made and bottled by Frey Farms’ watermelon farmers (one of the nation’s largest watermelon growers).Tsamma cold pressed watermelon juice is the best choice for hydration as it is a natural souce of L-citrulline, lycopene, and potassium; it contains Vitamins A, B, and C. These vitamins are essential for many functions, including proper immune system function, skin health, and increased metabolism. They also have antioxidant properties to remove harmful free radicals.

This cocktail is the perfect combination of fruity and floral, light and sparkling, and is the perfect way to ring in 2018.
