Whats a good alcoholic drink i can make on new years eve?

Answer 1

Here's a great champagne punch that I'm having for my New Year's Eve party.....though I'm going to cut the sherbert into cubes and serve in a very cool clear pitcher as opposed to a punch bowl. Very simple and tasty!

NEW YEAR'S CHAMPAGNE PUNCH

INGREDIENTS
1 quart orange sherbet
2 quarts fresh orange juice
1 (2 liter) bottle ginger ale, chilled
2 (750 milliliter) bottles champagne, chilled
DIRECTIONS
Place the orange juice, ginger ale, and champagne in the refrigerator to get them well chilled.
In a large punch bowl, place the block of sherbet in the center and pour the orange juice over the top. Next, pour the ginger ale over the sherbet. Finally, pour both bottles of champagne over the sherbet. Stir gently to mix the liquids, resulting in a foamy top. Serve immediately.

Answer 2

warm drinks are nice in the winter but they tend to make people sleepy
if you want to keep your party lively I think you should make a punch
Sangria makes a nice option

These sound fantastic too:
The experts in the Food Network Kitchens share their ideas for nine perfect champagne cocktails.

Unless you're making a drink where the flavor of the Champagne really matters (like the Classic Champagne Cocktail), generally, inexpensive alternatives such as Cava, Sekt, Prosecco or California sparkling wine work well.

Always pour the mixers in first, then top off with Champagne to avoid fizzy overflow.

Mimosa
This one's a brunch classic. Increase the flavor by using a 1:5 ratio of freshly-squeezed orange juice to Champagne. Then add a splash of triple sec.

Kir Royale
The fancy cousin to the made-with-white-wine Kir, the Kir Royale consists of a dash of creme de cassis (currant syrup), topped off with Champagne.

Bellini
Invented at Harry's Bar in Venice, the Bellini is best when made with ripe peaches. If peaches aren't in season, try creme de peche (peach syrup). Use a 1:4 ratio of syrup to prosecco.

Black Velvet
This is an easy and strangely delicious drink with a 4:1 ratio of Champagne to black Irish stout.

Death in the Afternoon
Traditionally made from absinthe, a spirit now illegal in the United States, in a 0.5:5 ratio to Champagne, you can probably substitute pastis or another anise-flavored liqueur.

Poinsettia
For a holiday brunch, make Poinsettias: a 1:4 ratio of triple sec to Champagne, with a splash of cranberry juice added for color.

Nelson's Blood
Named for the British Admiral George Nelson, this makes a great, if slightly morbidly-named, party drink. The recipe calls for a 5:1 ratio of Champagne to tawny Port.

Moving on to the slightly more complicated ones...

Classic Champagne Cocktail
Soak a sugar cube in bitters, drop it into a flute, fill the flute with Champagne and garnish with a twist of lemon. This classic drink dates back to at least the mid-19th century.

French 75
There are a number of French 75 recipes floating around; the only thing people agree on is that it's a serious drink with serious ramifications. Here's the classic: a splash of simple syrup, a bigger splash of lemon juice, an even bigger splash (about an ounce) of gin, topped off with a glassful of Champagne.

Answer 3

Good anytime, but especially on a cold night: an Irish Angel. That's 3/4 of a good-sized mug filled with hot coffee, 1/2 shot of Frangelico, 1/2 shot of Jameson's whiskey, and the full contents of a Bailey's mini-bottle, with cream and sugar to taste, topped with whipped cream, and a little cinnamon or cocoa powder. Yummy. :)
