Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

The star anise simple syrup mixture wasn't really detectable with the delicious flavors on the pineapple and champagne. Even the pomegranate was sort of lost (but the color was beautiful!). This drink, however, was a hit. It's very light and refreshing because of the champagne. Would be a great drink for the holidays because of the color (and great for New Year's Eve served as a drink or punch).
