Are you
tired of the same old drink every New Year's Eve? Plain champagne and your
aunt's "special holiday punch" do not appeal to you anymore? You
might be in need of a change in your cocktail wardrobe. I assembled a few of
the most festive drinks you should try on this special day. As a host or simply
for yourself, here are a few cocktails recipe
to start 2017 on the right foot. Cheers!
1.Pomegranate
Moscow mule
The Moscow mule, even though it has been on the market for a while, had a
sudden rise in popularity this year. Give it a twist with pomegranate juice and
you will be sure to impress your guests with something special.
Recipe:
-2 oz. of vodka
-1 oz. of pomegranate juice
-1 tbsp. of pomegranate seeds
-1 tbsp. of lime juice
-1 tsp. of honey
-½ c. ice
-ginger beer
-spring of rosemary

2.Manhattan
As one of my favourite drinks, I could only include it in the list. Sure, Manhattans can be found anywhere and be drank at any time. So why during New Year's Eve? Simple, everybody loves a good bourbon and this drink is different than your traditional holiday drink. So pour that alcohol and enjoy.

3.Blackberry thyme sparkler
I love making cocktails for my guests, especially if they are easy to make but look complicated. This one is no exception. It not only looks chic, but also taste good! But beware of the sweetness, there is still champagne in it.

4.Hot
spiked cider
I don't know about you, but during the new year celebration, the weather gets pretty cold. Starting the new year with a warm drink can be a good thing, especially if your guests aren't familiar with the harsh winter weather.
Recipe:
-1 quart of water
-3 orange spice tea bags
-½ c. of light brown sugar
-2 c. of apple cider
-1 & ½ c. of light rum
-8 cinnamon sticks
-3 tsp. of butter
Pour water into a large saucepan and bring it to a boil. Remove from heat and put the orange spice tea bags in it. Let it infuse for 5 minutes and remove the tea bags. Put the sugar, apple cider, rum and 2 cinnamon sticks and let it warm up. Pour the drink in the mugs, add ½ tsp of butter in each. Finish with cinnamon sticks for garnish.
