Can someone please tell summer to slow down a little bit? I can't believe that 4th of July is less than a week away! Since the 4th will be falling on a work night this year, we don't have major plans for the actual holiday. Maybe a little cookout with a few friends and a trip downtown to watch the city firework display if it doesn't start too late. You know you're getting old when you start to worry how late the festivities are going to run. To make up for it, my sister is hosting a little family BBQ at her place this weekend and after all of the party planning I've had to do this summer already, I am really looking forward to kicking back and enjoying a party that I don't have to plan, execute, or clean up after. Now, I'm not a total freeloader of a guest. I'll still bake a batch of cookies and I plan to bring some ingredients to whip up a few cocktails. I mean, even though I'm worried about early bedtimes in my old age, I still think an adult party should have a few adult beverages, right? I thought this Pomegranate & Cranberry Vodka Sparklers recipes would be a fitting choice because what's a 4th of July celebration without sparklers?
The kids can have run around the yard with their sparklers while mom and dad will have a good time enjoying these sparklers on the deck. Whip up a pitcher of this fruity tasting goodness and let the festivities begin!

1/8 cup water1/8 cup GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
3/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 1/2 cups pomegranate-cranberry juice
1 cup (8 ounces) vodka
