Whether you are hosting a party or having a cozy night home alone with your sweetie, New Year’s Eve doesn’t just have to be about champagne. In fact, it is a good opportunity to try a new cocktail.
Sangrias are always easy to scale up for a group. If you would prefer to offer a few mixed drinks, make a menu of offerings and have ingredients on hand. If there will be just a few of you, choose something that complements your meal or that you know your friends have wanted to try. Or, choose cocktails with seasonal ingredients (cranberries or citrus).
Here are a few cocktails the MyUntangled Life crew are eager to try.
