Karen, thank you so much for making these for my shower. They look so fun, festive, and delicious. I wish we could make a toast in person!
Oooh, sounds so refreshing!
Please pass 1 (or 2) my way!
This cocktail sounds awesome!
I am SO making this!! Thanks again, Karen for playing along! It was fun!!
These look so delicious! I’m bookmarking these and will be making them soon!
Hey I have those glasses! But I have not tried filling them with this champagne citrus cocktail, so that needs to be remedied.
I love champagne cocktails. Too bad this shower wasn’t a really one with all the goodies everyone made!!
