A New Year’s Celebration just isn’t complete without Champagne, and I’ve put together a selection of three different Champagne drinks to help you ring in the New Year.

We’ll start off with a delicious “Mexican Bubbly”, along with M&J’s Champagne Spritzer and finish the trio with a Pomegranate Champagne Twist.  Champagne is a fun and easy drink to get creative with!

M&J’s Champagne  Spritzer

• 1 part Chardonnay
• 2 parts Pineapple banana juice
• Champagne

1. In a large pitcher mix the chardonnay and the juice together. Fill a champagne flute 3/4 full with chardonnay/juice mix and top with champagne.

Mexican Bubbly

• 3 parts Limeade
• 1 part Tequila
• Champagne

1. In a large pitcher mix together limeade and tequila. Fill a champagne flute 3/4 full with limeade and tequila mix and top with champagne.

Pom Pom

• Pomegranate juice
• Champagne
• Pomegranate seeds

1. Fill a champagne flute 1/4 full with pomegranate juice, fill to the top with champagne and top with a few pomegranate seeds.

This appetizer is the ultimate in make ahead.  Arrange the platter up to a day ahead, keeping the bread separate. When you are ready to serve, put the platter out on the counter finish with the bread and serve.

This can be out for several hours with out refrigeration.

Ingredients

• 8 oz or 2 large balls fresh mozzarella cheese
• 5 dates, sliced and half and pit removed
• 10 slices prosciutto
• 1 cup pitted mixed olives, in a small bowl
• 1 1/2 cups marinated artichokes, in a small bowl
• 1/2 pound Brie3/4 pound White cheddar, sliced thin
• 1/2 pound blue or gloucester cheese
• 1/2 pound parrano or gouda cheese, sliced thin
• 1 1/2 cups tomatoes
• 1 1/2 pounds salami
• 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds

Directions

1. Slice each mozzarella ball into 5 slices.
2. Lay half of a date on each slice of mozzarella. Wrap each mozzarella and date with a slice of prosciutto.
3. On a large platter place the bowls of olives and artichokes in the middle.
4. Arrange cheeses, salami, prosciutto wraps, tomatoes and bread around the olives and artichokes.

This appetizer is perfect to make ahead.  The sauce can be made and stored in the fridge up 2 days in advance. Saute the shrimp and keep in the fridge for up to1 day.

Make sure to keep the sauce chilled when serving. I like to fill a freezer safe bowl with water and place a smaller metal bowl inside the bowl filled with water, place in the freezer over night or until frozen solid. Place the dip in the frozen bowls and serve.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds shrimp, peeled and de-veined
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• salt and pepper

Directions

1. Place a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add butter and allow to melt.
2. Add shrimp to the melted butter and sauté for about 5 minutes, you want them to be curled up, firm and pink.
3. Remove from the sauté pan and serve or keep in the fridge until ready to serve.

Herb Yogurt Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 small clove garlic
• 1/4 cup yogurt
• 2 cups mayo
• 4 sprigs of chives
• 4 large basil leafs
• 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Directions

1. Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor, blend until well combined.
