I was given products in this post for the purpose of review. I was not paid to write this review. All opinions are my own.
During the holidays I go to several houses. One house in particular I dread going to because that part of my family is toxic. Actually, I'm taking a stand this year and skipping that party... GO ME!!! But out of all the parties I think my New Year's party may just be my favorite. Why you may be wondering? Well besides the fact I am epic, I also have lots of food and drinks! The secret to a great party is def. the food and drinks. Now don't get me wrong, the games are fun as well, as are the party favors.
This year I'm even more excited because I get to make several new drinks! Check out the recipes below. Please note most of them are adult only, but the kids do like to get in on the fun. So, I always make them their own drink in a designated container.

3 oz. Reed’s Real Ginger Ale
