You don't need to go far to celebrate New Year's Eve. The best NYE parties can be found close to home. If you're looking for inspiration on ringing in 2024 from your apartment, start with festive beverages. Toast to the year ahead with these fantastic cocktails and mocktails that you can make at home for NYE!
Shirley Tonic | Mocktail
A seasonal twist on the classic Shirley Temple, this holiday mocktail adds a hint of spice to an old favorite. Shake up holiday-spiced grenadine syrup and club soda. To turn this recipe into a cocktail, add a splash of Scotch.
Espresso Martini | Cocktail
Trying to stay awake until Midnight? This espresso martini will boost your energy and fill your glass. First introduced in the 1980's by legendary bartender Dick Bradsell, the espresso martini is an electrifying combination of vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso, and simple syrup. If you don't have an espresso machine handy, swap for cold-brew concentrate.
Tea-Totaler's Toddy | Mocktail
The Tea-Totaler's Toddy perfectly complements a Prohibition-Era New Year's Eve party. There's no alcohol required for this delicious, warm beverage. Simply combine jasmine green tea, honey, lemon, mint sprigs (save some for garnish). Pair with jazz music and enjoy!
French 75 | Cocktail
The French 75 is Champagne 2.0. The cocktail gets its namesake from the rapid-firing 75-millimeter field gun utilized by the French during World War I. A true spitfire, this bubbly consists of gin, freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar and, of course, Champagne. Save this cocktail for midnight as the perfect celebratory finale to toast with.
New Year's Eve is nearly upon us. Raise a glass with our community in honor of a great year ahead. These NYE drink ideas are sure to inspire a night in that's anything but ordinary. Cheers to staying cozy and seeing the old year off in style!
