I probably won't be indulging much this year since I'm working at 6:30am the next morning but I'm definitely a Prosecco girl. I usually stick with bellinis but your Grapefruit prosecco sounds delish! And I guess I'm dating myself too because I definitely recognize that famous Robin Leach line! Happy New Year!

Oof on the early work time slot but grateful for health professionals like yourself who work on holidays - you are getting a toast tomorrow too (and glad at least someone else recognized the Robin Leach line - ha!)

What a great round up! I have to agree with you, pure Prosecco is my usual go to as well! I have a bottle chilling right now (it may not actually make it to tomorrow, we'll see on that one!).
I have to say that those Jello Shots would've been high on my to try list five years ago. I think if I did that this year I may not function for the first week of the year lol!
Have a wonderful New Year ladies!

Love all the bubbles, and I'll be sure to share with my mom and mother-in-law who both love their bubbles too :-) I will probably be going very light on the bubbles, and other libations this New Years Eve, because we are rising super early on New Year's Day to go to the Rose Parade. I hope you and your family have a most wonderful celebration! xoxo

How fun! Going to Rose Bowl parade and game someday is on my bucket list. Was going to wait until Penn State got back there but don't think that's happening in my lifetime - lol. Happy New Year!!
