Recipe: An Excuse to Use Your Glassware!

If you're anything like me, you LOVE glassware. Long stemmed glasses, water goblets, champagne flutes, martini glasses, beer steins...and you might even own some.
(We've got LOTS...in part because I like the funky shapes, and in part because we got quite a few from non-member friends for our wedding a million years ago.)
That said, you probably have exactly two uses for them (just like me): for water or juice at dinner when you're feelin' fancy and highfalutin', or for sparking apple cider when you're toasting Christmas or New Year's.

That's boring. (And before you start to roll your eyes, bring up the whole "appearance of evil" thing, blablabla, I get it...but tiny little cordial glasses are still ADORABLE!)

So I have a Mocktail recipe for you this time around: something fun to drink from a pretty glass, but totally, entirely, completely ALCOHOL-FREE. (See? I knew there was a reason to buy that 2 foot long, ultra-skinny champagne flute!)

Enjoy!

Cranberry Breeze Mormon Mocktail

Ingredients: (Makes 1...but you'll have PLENTY of stuff for more!)

• Cranberry Juice (I like Ocean Spray, but it's the priciest. Go with your budget.)
• Ginger Ale (DON'T use the "natural" stuff. Go cheap, or go home.)
• Lime Juice (Fresh-squeezed is preferable, but if you have a plastic lime in the fridge, use it!)

Combine equal parts juice and ginger ale in the ridiculously beautiful, miserably impractical glass of your choice (say, 1/4 C. of each).

Add a squeeze of lime (or half a teaspoon, if you MUST measure).

 VOILA! Serve. (Ain't it pretty???)

 (And yes, it WAS yummy!)
