If I were throwing a new year’s eve party, I’d seriously think about one of these drinks to serve. Yum. I’m more of a low-key wine or beer girl, or bubbly. There’s always room for a little bubbly. That said, sometimes wine and beer don’t LOOK so festive. They come off a little snoozy. I wish I knew of a way to snazzy-up a wine presentation. In fact, if you know, I’m all ears.
In the meantime, check out the bright colors of these drinks. And, might I add, I bet the drinks would be just as good without the alcohol for an afternoon shindig or even a kids party.

So what is this Sparkling ICE you see listed in each of the recipes? It’s a blend of water, fruit juice and just a little bit of carbonation. I’ve never had it, but it sounds good.
