I have some fun recipes for you today, just in time for New Years.  If you are still wondering what to bring to that New Year's party, then this post is for you.

I have partnered with Sierra Mist to share a delicious mocktail recipe (warm and perfect for those winter nights) and have also created my own bubbly cocktail.

Sierra Mist sells Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash around the holiday season.  It's sweet with a touch of cranberry, but without any artificial sweeteners.  And of course, you can get regular Sierra Mist all year long.

Be sure to enter the giveaway at the end of the post!

I am a big fan of warm drinks during the cold months for comfort.  This berry cider was really good and so easy to make.  The thyme adds some nice depth and creates a nice contrast to the sweetness.

If you read my blog regularly, then you know that I am sort of obsessed with brunch.  So when I was tasked with creating a cocktail using Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash I was inspired by the bellini.
