2021 brings optimism of a better year, but still it is our castles that provide comfort and safety. So, to enhance our personal palace celebrations, I’ve created regal cocktails, one purple, one gold.
“Amethyst Ambrosia” Amethyst…bringing tranquility, calm and serenity through it’s clear, cool brilliance. Ambrosia…nectar of the gods.
“Midas Elixir” Gold, symbol of luck and prosperity, is believed to rejuvenate the endocrine system, regenerate tissue and skeletal system, and balance the right and left brain. Elixir, the sweet liquid of longevity.
When you lift a glass to toast the new year…here’s wishing that “Cheers” brings you just that…the hope of a year filled with renewal and joy!
