A very happy, peaceful and creative New Year for the whole world!!
In Greece, most of us kept the season's customs. We baked vassilopites, smashed pomegranates on our front porch for good luck and families and friends gathered together to celebrate New Year's day. Some of us had pangs of remorse for deeds that we should have done but didn't, and words we should have said but hadn't. Being in a nostalgic and sentimental mood, we pondered over important events that occurred during the previous year, and above all, we hoped and implored that 2018 would be better than 2017.
Here is a sparkling wine / blood-orange cocktail recipe, for the New Year:

Pour into each iced Champagne flute:
1 liqueur glass of tsipouro or tequila
60 ml (2 fl oz) blood-orange juice
1 tsp Greek honey
And stir until well combined and add:
1 heaped tbsp pomegranate seeds
Top the flute with an excellent iced sparkling wine or champagne and garnish with a blood-orange slice. Then just sip and enjoy.
A Happy New Year to You and Yours!!
