Your ultimate guide to New Year’s mocktails
With the holidays behind you, you might already be thinking about New Year’s Eve, and potentially even Dry January.
Whether you plan to pop some bubbly at midnight or keep it non-boozy, it’s always a good idea to have a few non-alcoholic drink options in mind for anyone not imbibing at your party.
Let’s countdown to the best New Year’s Eve mocktails you can make to ring in the new year!
Quick tips for hosting
When it comes to making drinks for a crowd, batch cocktails are your best friend. Make as much as you can ahead of time — make any simple syrup your recipe needs, squeeze any fresh juices and mix all ingredients beforehand, then chill until party time. BUT you’ll want to skip adding anything carbonated until the party is ready to start — that way it will remain perfectly crisp and bubbly for a few hours.
You can make non-alcoholic versions of cocktails that have champagne. Use something like sparkling cider, ginger ale or even club soda. It’s best to select a beverage that meshes well with the other ingredients in the drink.
Don’t forget the garnishes! NYE means getting dressed up and your drink should be no exception! Sparkling cocktail picks, festive drink stirrers or even glammed up fruit like sugared cranberries make the perfect toppers.
try non-alcoholic bitters
We love adding bitters to drinks to add a little extra depth and flavor complexity. I’ve teamed up with my friends at All the Bitter — who make fantastic non-alcoholic bitters — to bring you an exclusive discount on your purchase. Use code fwbitters for 10% off!
What to serve with New Year’s Eve cocktails
Your menu depends on the type of celebration you’re having. For an upscale affair, try charcuterie cups or baked brie. If it’s something more laid-back, spinach artichoke dip is easy and filling.
No matter what kind of party you throw, you can’t go wrong with champagne cupcakes! You could also top these sugar cookies bars with sparkly sprinkles as another sweet treat.
