Many of you may have noticed by now, that my design and entertaining inspirations often come from my travels. This Saturday evening, friends and family at my New Year’s party will toast to 2012 with a signature drink – the Dawa Cocktail! I recently sipped the Dawa in Quebec City, Canada; although the cocktail originates from Africa and is based on a Brazilian recipe. The uniquely delicious combination of vodka, brown sugar and honey is truly international!
Special Occasions wishes you a safe New Year’s celebration! See y’all in 2012!
