Bill’s Package Store has some festive New Year’s Eve cocktails for you to try!
Here are a few sparkling New Year’s Eve cocktails using the ever-popular NYE drink, champagne, as well as some not-so-bubbly favorites.
French 75
(invented in 1915, it got its name because it was as powerful as a French 75mm field gun)
Ingredients:
Directions:
- Shake gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker.
- Strain into a flute.
- Top with champagne.
- Add a lemon twist for garnish
Pomegranate Margarita
Ingredients:
- Pomegranate juice (bottled or fresh squeezed)
- Tequila
- Cointreau
- Fresh lime juice
- Simple syrup
- Pomegranate seeds for garnish
Directions:
- Rim a glass with salt (salt enhances the sweet and sour flavors in the drink)
- Shake ingredients together with ice in a cocktail shaker.
- Strain into a glass and add ice and pomegranate seed as garnish.
And for New Year’s Day… the best Bloody Mary!
Ingredients:
- Vodka
- Tomato Juice
- Lemon Juice
- Worcestershire sauce
- Tabasco sauce
- Celery Salt
- Black Pepper
Directions:
- Chill the tomato juice and vodka first.
- If time allows, put both ingredients in the fridge when you first buy them. If you’re short on time, put the vodka in the freezer to get cold faster.
- This makes the drink cold without having to use too much ice which can dilute it.
- Shake the ingredients in a cocktail shaker.
- Add ice to a glass then pour mixture over the ice.
- Rim the glass and garnish with a celery stalk or get creative and add a strip of bacon, olives, or whatever else you have on hand!
