New Year’s Eve Drinks

New Year’s Eve is always a time to get together with friends and family to ring in the new year!

Traditionally, New Year’s Eve gatherings include some sort of alcoholic drink, including, of course champagne.

16 New Year’s Eve Drinks

Therefore, I perused the internet and found an amazing list of my favorite 16 New Year’s Eve drinks.

To clarify, not all of these drinks are sparkling or bubbly.

However, you can very easily add the bubbly to each of these recipes.

Nevertheless, these are all great New Year’s Eve drinks to add a little fun to your celebration!
