The excitement of the countdown on New Year’s Eve calls for a chilled bubbly cocktail. We are celebrating the new, cherish the past. Many of us have fresh commitments for the new upcoming year. This is a special celebration that deserves elevated high end champagne cocktails. The ingredients are different from juice based mimosa cocktails. Rather, it will be unique spirits, interesting bitters, and only a splash of fruity ingredients as a base. You can create a mini classic cocktail base like a Side Car and top it with champagne. The variations are literally unlimited. For receptions the base cocktail can be batched and each flute can be topped with the freshly opened, perfectly chilled bubbler.

Let me share one of my favorite out of the box champagne cocktail with an unusual scotch base.

Let’s create sparkling moments!

Cheers!
