In New Hampshire, this past weekend was filled with lots of wintry weather. It started with a snowstorm that ran from mid-afternoon Friday to early Saturday morning. As we were digging out from that storm, there was a warning of another, bigger snowstorm all day Sunday. Pleasantly trapped at home on Friday night (and preparing for the same on Sunday) with each other’s company, tasty snacking food, and holiday movies, my husband and I were ready.
However, when the opportunity was presented to leave our domicile on Saturday, we were ready to go! As we were shopping for a few last minute Christmas gifts, we received a call from our best friends with news that they were available for dinner. What luck!
After dinner at our favorite restaurant, Unum’s, the night was still young, and there was a football game that certain people (read, my husband) wanted to watch, so we moved the gathering to our house. My girlfriend and I were less interested in who won the mighty battle of Ravens versus Cowboys, so we decided to work on perfecting a drink for us to enjoy while we chatted.
Combining sweet, sour, and bubbles made a drink that was fun to drink. So, while our husbands watched the game (and maybe napped?), we had many laughs and savored our new creations. Whether you are avoiding the football game or want to have a delicious drink while watching, this creation is worthy of a try!
