Peppermint Stick Punch


Happy New Year's Eve!  Yes I'm totally late publishing a tasty New Years adult beverage.  Better late than never is my motto.  I'm having a few friends over tonight and this drink will be the main event.  I need it to be so they won't notice how cluttered my house is with Christmas stuff strewn all about. I plan to shove this in their hands as they walk through the door.  :)  I'm such a good hostess.


There is plenty of sugar in here if that's your thing; which it is totally my thing.  You don't get a huge sense of peppermint however, it's just a slight note in the background.  Citrus-y is how I would describe this.  It's delish, try one tonight when you bring in the New Year. 

Thank you all so much for reading my blog.  I got a couple of things for Christmas that are bound to make this coming year the best one yet so keep reading! Happy New Year everybody!
