“I designed the Knock Your Socks Off, a cranberry creation.  It is tart with a hint of sweetness and a dash of sour.  With the color of a deep burgundy, it looks gorgeous.  I would put it in a fancy cocktail glass.  For kids, ask your parents if you can use that glass.  If they say yes, ask if they can get it down for you.  It is delicious and refreshing.”

    Great recipe for a fun drink! I do something similar for myself. (After a bout with a rare kind of cancer below my vocal chords 3 yrs. ago, all my doctors advised to have no more alcohol – I wasn’t a huge drinker to begin with, but still. . .what a bummer!) So, my friend bought me a cool, festive stemless wine glass and I fill it with crushed ice, cranberry juice, sparkling mineral water and lime and just pretend – ha! Happy New Year to all!
