Traditionally, you drink champagne when the clock strikes midnight at a New Year’s Eve celebration! However, it’s almost 2023, and that means you can put a modern twist on your toast cocktail. Mix it up by making one of the drink recipes on this list.
The best cocktail glass for a party, according to bartenders, is the coupe glass. That’s because you can get the most creative with this particular glass. It is more forgiving of spills and has a wider rim for fun and pretty garnishes.
Yes, most cocktails can be adapted to be non-alcoholic by substituting the alcohol with a mocktail-friendly alternative. For instance, you can replace tequila with sparkling water or soda for a non-alcoholic Paloma, and use non-alcoholic wine for the Kir Royale.
It’s great to have a well-stocked bar for making cocktails. Essential ingredients include a variety of spirits like vodka, rum, tequila, and gin; mixers such as tonic water, soda, and fruit juices; fresh fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges; and sweeteners such as simple syrup and honey. Don’t forget garnishes like mint, herbs, a sugar cube or two, and maraschino cherries to add flair to your drinks. And additions like angostura bitters or apple cider can often add to your cocktail selection.
To properly muddle ingredients in a cocktail, use a muddler to press and twist the ingredients gently. Ensure you’re using a sturdy glass or shaker so it doesn’t break under pressure. Muddling helps release the flavors from herbs, fruits, and sugar, enhancing the overall taste of your cocktail.
