While New Year’s this year is going to look different than in past years, it doesn’t mean you can’t pop open some bubbly and ring in the new year. This year, why not try something different than champagne by drinking a cocktail instead. Whether you’re home alone or celebrating New Year’s with your close family, these are the drinks you should serve to welcome in 2021.
Rosemary Gimlet
This gin-based cocktail has gotten a twist for the holiday season by being upgraded with sweet rosemary simple syrup and lemon juice instead of lime.
Cranberry Manahattan
Cranberry is a winter staple, and this seasonal take on the classic Manhattan cocktail has cranberry sauce, whisky, sweet vermouth, and Angostura bitters.
Pink Gin Martinis
This cocktail is almost too pretty to drink with the pastel pink color. The cocktail has gin, kirsch, gin, blanc vermouth, Angostura aromatic bitters, lemon, and maraschino cherries.
Kir Royales
The deep red color of this Champagne-based cocktail comes from the black-currant liqueur. It’s fruity and refreshing, making it great for celebrating the new year.
Ginger Sparkler
If you’re looking for something simple to make that’s still festive, this cocktail comes together with just sparkling wine, sugar, and fresh ginger.
