Now this is something very different for our blog. I adore cocktails (Mojitos stole my heart a long time ago) and I have always struggled with the creative element of making new cocktails. Caitlin is yet to experience the joys of a good, strong cocktail, so we decided to create some of our own for New Years Eve. These cocktails have most likely been done before, but I personally have never seen them! I will be covering the alcoholic cocktails side and Caitlin will be attending to the non alcoholic cocktail. These will be an affordable cocktail with not any fancy alcohols (no Grey Goose here!) so anyone can make them and feel even more glamorous at New Year's, whether a child, a non drinker, a pre- drinker or house party animal! So lets get started shall we?

| Jungle Juice and Dark Sunshine |
This cocktail is one of our alcoholic cocktails, and is very fruity with a dark twist. Mixed with pomegranate and cranberry juices, I feel this is a more sophisticated version of your woo- woo's that everybody loves! The alcohols are vodka and amaretto, giving the dark twist at the end of your drink. The drink can also taste heavenly with a hint of fizz- we used lemonade here.

-ice cubes (any size)-
-half a shot of amaretto-
-shot of vodka-
-100ml (or there abouts) of cranberry juice-
-100ml (or there abouts) of pomegranate juice-
-optional topper of lemonade-
Method:
Pop your ice into a long glass and add your shots of amaretto and vodka. Pour in your cranberry and pomegranate juices to the top, or add your hint of fizz at the top of this. Stir with a straw and enjoy!
Jungle Juice:
This is a juice that anyone, boy girl, grandma or grandpa can enjoy and devour at ease. Perfect for making in bulk and sticking in the middle of the table for anyone to grab hold of and enjoy. As enjoyable with ice as without, and can also be fizzed up for any fussy child!
