Figured we’d go out with a real sparkle, you know? Over the past few months, I’ve shared more cocktails than in any other year…in fact, we haven’t missed one cocktail Saturday since October! That’s three months of fun and festive holiday drinks. But as always December’s drinks have been my favorite to share. And my very favorite drink yet? I think that title has to go to the Frosted Mistletoe Margarita. I just LOVE everything about that cocktail, but this Champagne twist? It just might top that margarita. Something about this one feels oh so special. And yes, it’s delicious. Question for you all, what’s been your personal favorite? Now, obviously, it’s not Saturday, but I wanted to leave you all with one last celebratory drink to help us ring in the New Year. Nothing screams New Years’ like a champagne cocktail, so here we are! And since we’ll be taking a break from the cocktails come January, I thought why not end with one last fun cocktail?! It just felt like the right thing to do!
Onto the details.
Champagne cocktails require almost no work, but they’re always so much fun. This one is a simple mix of fresh wintery blood orange juice, pomegranate, and sweet orange liquor, which I think is key. It makes this cocktail almost like a champagne margarita, which yes, is every bit as delicious as it sounds. I topped off each drink with spicy, sweet gingery beer and then that bubbly champagne. I feel like New Year’s Eve cannot be complete without a bottle of champagne, it just seems like a must. SIMPLE, but GOOD. You can also make this as a punch for serving guests. If doing so, I would probably recommend doubling the recipe, depending on how many people you plan to serve…or if you just know your family will be going back for seconds.
And as for the blood oranges, well they’re just starting to come into season, and they’re the prettiest citrus out there! Their red hue is super festive, so again, a must! Add a little pomegranate juice to “seal the deal” and you have the perfect New Year’s Eve drink. It’s easy to mix up, impressive, and every bit as delicious as it looks. Hoping you guys all enjoy this one!! See you tomorrow for the very, very final post of 2020!!!
