Cheerful Leap Day, companions! Or then again… as I call it… .the day that makes February ceaseless and the winter one day longer. I never comprehended the entire jump year thing… .and I think since it distracts such a large number of individuals (particularly those BORN on this day) it ought to be a national occasion. We should all have the three day weekend to set ourselves up for March and the wild climate it could, conceivably, carry with it. What's more, toast the day with mixed drinks as mary Bloody, Margaritas and my new most loved Strawberry Champagne Mojitos!
I attempt to discover any way I can to incorporate champagne into my day… .either in a cupcake or just in a tall, swirly glass. It's my decision of celebratory drink at whatever point I get the opportunity and nowadays… you can discover it moderately modestly, however then the champagne idealists will say it's not really champagne since it doesn't originate from the "champagne" area of France. However, whatever… I'll call it what I need, on the off chance that it has bubbles… it's an explanation behind festival.
For quite a while I figured I didn't care for Mojitos on the grounds that my initial one was of the watermelon assortment and was particularly falsely seasoned. There's nothing more terrible than expecting some crisp flavor in a beverage and your desires being run with the primary taste. You have no other decision than to chug the entire mixed drink so you can overlook how terrible it really is. At that point you request another… or is that just me. 🙂
