​If you didn’t already know already I’ll take any excuse to make a cocktail and throw a party. So, when Basic Invites asked me if I would be interested in writing a post about their graduation announcements I had the perfect event in mind.  I’m sure I’m not the only one with an upcoming graduation in my future, and what better way to celebrate getting my first born through Kindergarten alive then a party! Basic Invites has so many graduation party invitations, there’s really something for everyone even my kinder-grad. You can customize you invites with their almost unlimited color options including over forty different colored envelopes. I love that I was able to order samples of my customized invites so I could see how they look printed with my photos, color and paper choices.

 I figure celebrating making it through kindergarten is as much for the parents as it is for  the kindergartener, it can be a pretty steep learning curve for everyone involved. A champagne cocktail is my go-to, it’s easy, delicious and what better way is there to celebrate. Since a mocktail, (or as we call them in my house cocky-tails) was also in order I based both drinks on a Shirley Temple. The champagne cocktail is an elevated version that draws inspiration from the flavors, while the mocktail uses higher quality ingredients to create an alcohol free drink both kids and adult will enjoy.
Shirley's All Grown-Up cocktail recipe
Shirleys All Grown up
3 oz. Champagne
.25 oz. Cointreau
.25 oz. Luxardo Liqueur
Maraschino cherry for garnish 

Place the cherry in the bottom of a champagne flute, add cointreau and Luxardo to the bottom of the glass. Pour Champagne over  the top until glass is full, enjoy!
Shirley Temple Black recipe
Shirley Temple Black
3 oz. Ginger beer
Grenadine 
.25 lime

​This is easy. Rim plastic stemless Champagne flute with sprinkles. Pour as much or as little Grenadine syrup as your comfortable with into the bottom of the glass, squeeze a bit of lime juice on top and fill with chilled Ginger beer. 


Cheers!

I like to have some party at home because this event makes the environment happy. It is a wise choice for all of us to make and let us spread the happiness that we have inside for this give us a better environment. I want to make a new promise to myself. A promise that will make a new legacy in this world. I will be stiff with the words that I say and will work on it.
