New Year's Eve Ginger Prosecco Cocktails

Happy New Year's Eve! Before the clock strikes midnight make sure you have a two simple ingredients on hand to pour a tasty cocktail to toast with. Sparkling Ginger & Prosecco Cocktails are made with spicy ginger beer, sweet Prosecco, and made extra festive when topped with a cotton candy garnish.

It's said that the way you spend New Year's Eve and begin the New Year sets the stage for the entire year to come. This New Year's Eve I'm celebrating with friends, family and a heart full of happiness and gratitude for all that has taken place in my life this year. My wish for you friends is a night filled with fun, celebration and excitement at the prospect of a fresh new year to come. Cheers! See you all in 2014.
