Happy New Year!!! I am getting ready to usher in 2018 with friends, family and so much fun!! We are actually going to a 1950’s themed black-tie party (FUN!! we never do anything like that!) but leading up to it we are having fun pretty much every night with friends. And hanging out with friends over winter break means cocktails in our house.

If you too are entertaining friends this week, or know that you are going to be on New Years Eve, I have the perfect solution for you! Pomegranate Ginger Paloma Punch. I mean, just look at this magical punch!!

And don’t let me forget to tout the benefits of a punch when you are having a party- I mean, as the hostess, there is no easier way to entertain. You can whip up a big bowl of this, and then just leave your guests to fend for themselves. Refreshing the bowl is no big deal if you have all of the ingredients ready to go in the fridge, and the rest of the time you do not have to worry about a thing!

A crudite platter or a couple of beautiful appetizers like these, these or these and you are all set to go 🙂
