Oh it’s been a YEAR. Fastest year of my life for sure – will I ever not say that again? It just speeds up as you age, correct? It’s the worst even when the best things are happening. It’s absolutely insane to me that I stumble upon pictures from last January and feel like they were taken five minutes ago. How is that even possible?

Pass the punch please.

ALSO!

I can’t believe that this is week 52 of thirsty Thursday, that I’ve throw 52 different drinks your way over the course of 2016. What started as a little challenge and experiment to myself continued the entire year. As of right now, I’m planning on carrying it through 2017, but we shall see. I mean, just how many more cocktails can we even make?

I’m guessing a bunch.

This punch is a quick and easy throw-together treat that you can have on New Year’s Eve, even if there are just a few of you.

The frozen blackberries continue to enhance the flavor as the melt into the champagne and it’s so incredibly delicious! I wanted a little color and grapefruit flavor there too, so in went some slices. Could I BE any more excited that it’s finally grapefruit season? It’s the most delish season.
