It's Friday Cocktail Time!! New Year's Edition!!

Hey mommas!!! It's our very last Friday Cocktail Time of 2017!!! Can you believe it?! 2017 has flown by so fast!  It's hard to believe that it's already over.  We have so much fun stuff planned though for 2018 that I have to say, I'm actually pretty excited to say adios to 2017.  2018 is going to be a fun year, I can already tell.

But one of my absolutely favorite things about New Year's Eve and New Year's Day is the time for reflection, celebration, and renewed focus and determination.  So with that said, here's a few of my reflections and accomplishments with Momma Mojito for 2017:

We increased our sales from 2016 to 2017 by almost 400%!! That's HUGE!!

We shipped fun and adorable products to 39 (!!!) states across the United States, plus lots of shipments to our Momma Mojito lovin' ladies down in Puerto Rico! That's up from just 5 states in 2016!! (We're shooting for all 50 in 2018!!!)

We got our feet wet in some local craft shows and festivals in Oklahoma, and absolutely LOVED getting the chance to meet some of you mommas!

We expanded our sales across 5 additional platforms on the web!

We signed on to bring a physical location of Momma Mojito to OKC coming in the spring of 2018!

We began wholesaling some of our tees thanks to popular demand!

We brought you over 35 Friday Cocktail Time Editions in 2017!

More than anything else, we realized that you mommas are lovin' the fun here at Momma Mojito just as much as we are...well almost....we DO have a lot of fun here at the Momma Mojito HQ! ;)

In 2018, we have lots more exciting things planned, but we don't want to spill the beans just yet!!  However,  I will tell you that we have an absolutely adorable Valentine's collection releasing next Friday so be on the lookout for that! There are some pieces that you will absolutely want to get your hands on, so get ready mommas!

In the meantime, thanks for following along with us in 2017 mommas! It really means the world to me that you all believe in my brand.  I have had so much fun sending out all of the products I know and love to your homes all across the country.  I am so grateful for each and every one of you.  Stick around with us for even more fun, fashion, and of course cocktails in 2018! :) So without any further ado, enjoy this super easy and festive New Year's Eve cocktail that's easy enough to make for an entire crowd--plus it's not too sweet so even the man in your life will love it too! Happy New Year and Cheers Mommas!! See you in 2018!!

 MOMMA MOJITO'S CRANBERRY CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL

Ingredients:

Fresh Cranberries (about 6 per champagne glass)

Cranberry Cocktail Juice

Brut Champagne

Directions:

In a champagne glass, place fresh cranberries in the bottom.  Pour the juice in until the cranberries are just covered.  Fill champagne to the top of the glass.  Do not stir.  If desired, place a festive paper straw or swizzle stick in the glass for fun but definitely not necessary.  You could even add a sprig or two of your favorite herb if you want--I recommend Rosemary, Thyme, or Sage for this time of year.  Cheers and Happy New Year Mommas!!

(PS, my New Year's accessories that are pictured above can be found at Target of course!)
