A Sparkling Cocktail Hour

I was recently part of a photoshoot in which I got to add a little extra bling to an already shimmering cocktail hour. Carlene at Healthfully Ever After used Freixenet's champagne to develop two awesome champagne cocktail recipes: one with blood orange, and one with blackberries. Seriously, these should be your go-to's for the next celebration you have planned, or they could be the perfect excuse to start planning!

My part in the photoshoot was clearly the calligraphy! This shoot was particularly fun because it was a little bit out of the ordinary. First, I wrote on a big champagne bottle, which was both easier than I expected but still a little tricky as a lefty. Writing on the ribbon for the cava place card was actually the trickiest part! Good thing I have a whole box just dedicated to gold inks and other options - because why not?
