2016 has been a year.

Am I right, y’all?

While there have been some wonderful highs, the lows have felt even more brutal than those of previous years. And I don’t know about y’all, but I sincerely hope that 2017 is kinder to us than 2016 has been. (And if your 2016 was all roses and goodness? Good for you! I hope 2017 is equally lovely!)

So to send 2016 off right and to prepare us for an incredible 2017–because it’s going to be incredible, I’ve teamed up with my blogging besties to offer up FOUR unique cocktails to enjoy with your friends in the new year.

Hi. How could you not love Irish Coffee with Hazelnut Whipped Cream, a Raspberry Mint Sparkler, a Elderflower French 75 and this here Skinny Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Martini.

I obviously went the girls’ night route with these… and lemme tell you, they’re stupidly DELICIOUS and deceptively strong and taste exactly like a chocolate-covered strawberry… except they’re both dairy-free and sugar-free.

What’s not to love about that?!?

I’ve been a sucker for martinis since my college days, having discovered a martini bar upon a photo assignment. (Let it be known that I didn’t spend my journalism days drunk. I photographed a lot of drinks, though I didn’t imbibe them, and this martini bar that I discovered was one of my favorite hidden gems in Baton Rouge.)

This martini is reminiscent of my early martini-loving days.

It’s sweet. It’s strong. It tastes like what it’s emulating. And I recommend everyone trying one of these beauties the next time they’re having a get-together with friends, whether it’s for a bridal shower, girls’ night, Valentine’s Day or a random evening… just because.

Because sometimes, you need a Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Martini on a random night of the week.
