I can’t wait to kick back and relax on New Year’s Eve,with friends, family— and a festive cocktail!

 

Champagne may be the expected drink du jour on the big night, but this year I’m celebrating by trying a few new cocktails recipes instead.

 

From seasonal fruit paired with flavored vodka, to a sweet-and-fizzy sip, to a tropical-tasting thirst-quencher, these flavor combos will be sure to please any crowd on one of the biggest party nights of the year.
