Christmas has come and gone, which means it’s time to bust out the little black dress, high heels, some sparkly jewelry, and red lipstick.

We're talking New Years, folks.

Something of which this thirty year-old old knows almost nothing. Okay, that’s not technically true. We do know they drop a big ‘ol ball in the middle of Times Square and everyone counts down until the clock strikes midnight. But that’s about as far as we go. See, we have a condition called “the sleeps”. Once 10pm rolls around we start to get sleepy and have been know to occasionally doze off in the middle of a party. The funny thing is, you would think we had consumed way too much giggle juice, but we are 76 years old and get tired.

What will we be doing for New Years you ask? Well, since you asked, we will most likely be in our pjs cuddling up on the couch watching old movies. We might get a wild hair and have a few friends over for dinner with the required attire of pjs only. We are sure the details will sort themselves out. But we will be sipping on a few cocktails to ring in the new year.

One of our favorites to sip on is a Jack and Ginger (basically its bourbon mixed with ginger ale). With 2014 approaching in like five minutes, we figure we need to expand our mixologist skills and actually make some kitchen-made ginger ale. Did you know its simple to make ginger ale? Its just ginger simple syrup mixed with a squeeze of lemon or lime and tonic water. Add a little bourbon and you have a spicy Jack & Ginger.

Slip into your pjs and sip on into the new year with this cocktail.

Happy New Years, friends!
