Celebrating My 29th Birthday with a #BringTheShimmer Bucket List

Yay for birthdays!

I just turned 29 on Thursday and I’ve been reflecting a lot as I kick off my last year in my twenties. The old me would have told you that I’m turning 21 again (for the 8^th time), but I’m finally embracing my age.

I realize I’m not getting any younger, so I’ve decided to make the rest of my life, the best of my life – starting with my new and improved bucket list for my 29^th year! Read on for the deets on how I plan to end my twenties with a bang.

Katie’s 2016 Bucket List:

• Bring the shimmer to me and my friend’s year with an epic girls trip!
• Dye my hair a crazy fantasy color
• Write a novel
• Spend more time in Central Park
• Run a marathon
• Be more adventurous
• Visit all the restaurants featured in Sex and the City
• Go on a cruise
• Donate to charity
• Swim with dolphins
• Stress way less
• Participate in the Coney Island Mermaid Parade
• Make time to catch up with old friends
• Be someone’s mentor
• Create the perfect signature cocktail

As you can tell, I’ve got a lot of living to go do, but first, let me add a checkmark next to “create the perfect signature cocktail.” To celebrate my birthday, I decided to create a cocktail recipe that really portrayed my personality. Behold, the Citrus Mist, featuring my fav shimmery liqueur – Viniq! Just like me, it’s sweet, shimmery, simple and creative.

Citrus Mist

Ingredients:

• 2 oz. Viniq Original®
• 1 oz. New Amsterdam Vodka
• 2 oz. Barefoot Bubbly Moscato
• Lime squeeze

Directions:

Build ingredients in a champagne flute.

Ready to join me in bringing the shimmer this year? I know as I continue to check off my bucket list items I’ll be sharing my pics on social using #BringTheShimmer. Check out Viniq.com for more cocktail inspiration to celebrate your goals and checks off your bucket list this year!

Now, let’s all raise a glass to an epic year. Cheers!
