Hope your weekend went well! Our’s came and went, but we did manage to squeeze in a movie at the local theater. This might be sad, but i’ll admit it anyway, my favorite part of going to the movies is the previews. I get so excited seeing whats coming out soon. One that caught our eye was “The Greatest Showman”, coming out next week inspired by the legacy of P.T. Barnum which we all know for the Barnum and Bailey circus. In celebration of its release, Moet has teamed up with a couple of star mixologists, Michelin Star-mixologist, Brian Van Flandern, to create a few seasonal champagne cocktail recipes inspired by the film. We took advantage of them to bring in the new year, but they work for any cocktail party. Try them and let us know what you think!
