Best New Year’s Eve Champagne co*cktail Recipes to Savor (2024)

When we first started celebrating New Year’s Eve as adults, we drank champagne at midnight because that’s what everyone around us did. That was fun and all, but there was just one problem: it turns out we don’t really like most kinds of of champagne! Because we adore NYE celebrations so much, however, we’ve found ways around that without losing out on the tradition. Now we make ourselves all kinds of delicious co*cktails thatinvolve champagne but are filled with other delicious (and often holiday flavoured) ingredients as well.
