And just like that…the new year has begun. Weeks of planning and prepping for the festivities are over. Christmas decorations have been packed away and again, made another promise to fix Mr. Snowman’s eyes. Visitors and family have gone and now, everything seems rather empty.
Hopefully you’ve entered the new year feeling cool, calm and collected… like this refreshing free spirit cocktail. You might be partaking in a dry January and if so, this refreshing combination of cucumber (cuke) and mint is lovely to sip on. You could easily turn this easy mocktail into a cocktail and add some gin or vodka if you wished. Either way take out your prettiest glasses and accessories and don’t forget the garnish.
Cheers to a great 2026! Wishing you all many blessings throughout the year. Moya x
