This time of year is tricky. We desperately want winter to be over.  The suggestion that spring is near is popping up inside every store, Easter baskets are everywhere. All the clothing stores are filled with shorts and swimwear. But I’m pretty sure IT’S STILL SNOWING.

I hosted a little dinner last night and was trying to come up with an appropriate beverage, something not too heavy and wintery (I’ve had one or seven too many spiked coffee/cocoa/ciders). I figured citrus is always promising, so threw this together and instantly felt the spring cheer. It could have been the vodka.

Ingredients: Sparkling soda, citrus infused vodka, squeezed clementine, pomegranate seeds. Isn’t this drink so pretty?

It may be 37 degrees outside, but I’m wearing flip flops today!
