Apricot Fizz for #SundaySupper

Thousands of tiny bubbles are rising to the surface. Each one is a perfect round ball reflecting images from outside the glass. Some bubbles burst as they hit the surface and others stay to float around the top. The moments of our life are like those glistening spheres. We have thousands of moments within a year. Some pass without notice. Others hang on to become cherished memories. Our reflections from the past can make us smile as we carry those precious ones into the coming year. I plan to sip on an Apricot Fizz and watch the bubbles rise as I think about many wonderful moments of this year.

The days pass so quickly. It seems as if time speeds up and before you know it another year ends. A week ago it was spring. How did winter get here so fast? A day or two ago I was meeting many of my Sunday Supper friends at the Food and Wine Conference. Oh wait, that was July. Has it really been five months since then? Wow. Now we are coming together virtually to share our reflections and resolutions along with recipes for remembering the past year or bringing in the new one.

Apricot Fizz is a sparkly, fruity cocktail. It’s very easy to make. Pour an ounce of homemade Apricardamom liqueur in a flute and top it with sparkling wine or champagne. I recommend using brut or extra-dry sparkling wine since the liqueur has a sweetness of its own. You can use apricot brandy if you haven’t had a chance to make Apricardamom.

What are your most cherished memories of the past year? Have you made any resolutions for the coming one? I don’t make resolutions however I do set goals. One immediate goal is to visit each one of the posts from Sunday Supper bloggers in the list below. Join me in the fun of reading their heartfelt words and discovering great recipes. Big thanks to Constance of The Foodie Army Wife for hosting our event.
