Can you believe you made it?! It's finally here, the last freakin' day of 2018 and it's time to say CHEERS to the freakin' New Year!!

2018 - you were good to me, but I need more in 2019. More me time, more natural everything, more laughter, more impact and more passion. If you could just whip that up with my morning veggie scramble, that would be great.

2019 is when shit is going to get real. Balancing everything from working to family to weddings and newborns, I'm going to want to enjoy a few cocktails here and there. Date nights are a must - our chance to explore new restaurants, sit outside and enjoy a cocktail without kids fighting and throwing food. (Seriously, at what age does that stop?!)

Here enters my go-to skinny sippin' cocktail, "Constantine"

Ice

Water

Alcohol of choice

- My pick is almost always RUM - Brugal Especial Extra Dry or Denizen

Real flavor (ask the bartender for fresh fruit, not syrup!)

- lime

- orange

- lemon

- cherry

- strawberry

- blueberry

- grapefruit

- mint

*Optional - if you like real sweet drinks, add 2-3 drops of your favorite stevia leaf extract. I have NO SHAME whipping this out of my bag - I know what I want and I'll make it happen.

The best part is every bartender in the world can whip this up (including you at home) - no more will the bartender looking at you with a blank stare when you try and tell them the ingredients in your favorite cocktail. Or is that just me? Triple bonus is you are staying hydrated, the drink looks super yummy at just 80-120 calories, and you're easily able to fit it into your New Years fit goals. In the battle of this whole "getting older" thing, it stinks to throw out my hard work for the week over a basket of chips and salsa and a couple of margaritas. Pass me the Constantine ...

Cheers!

Rachel
