20 Easy New Years Cocktails and Drink Recipes

This easy cocktail recipe is a favorite! The seasonal flavors packed into this Holiday Mule makes it great to sip on a cold winter's night.

Kombucha is an easy way to jazz up cocktails. Because of its fermented nature of it, it kind of gives it the tang of vinegar (kind of like shrubs) which pairs perfectly with the fizzy bubbles of sparkling wine in this mimosa. Plus champagne is always celebratory! Try this unique Kombucha Mimosa recipe this year!

I LOVE this recipe! It’s the right amount of spice (think cinnamon and nutmeg), sweetness (from the vanilla simple syrup), and brightness from the fresh lime juice. I’ve literally been dreaming of this cocktail since the weather started cooling down!

This is an all-time favorite cocktail recipe for our family parties! It’s easy to drink, appeals to non-wine lovers, and serves a bunch of people at once. Not only is this Champagne Punch recipe great for New Year's Eve, but it's also fantastic for New Year's Day brunches.

This Spiced Pear Bellini is one of my favorite fun New Year’s drinks. There aren’t a ton of pear cocktails around so it’s an unexpected treat full of delicious flavor! My guests always love this!

Orange Julius was always something I looked forward to when shopping at the mall with my mom so an Orange Julius cocktail would be nostalgic and fun to serve on this special night.

Negronis are a great cocktail idea for people who like things super refreshing and not overly sweet. The gin gives it an herbal quality and the sparkling red wine adds a really lovely fizz.

This sparkling wine upgrade to the classic margarita is the perfect way to ring in the New Year with class!

I’ve never met a Mai Tai I didn’t like! So why not sip one while you’re waiting for the ball to drop?

I love fresh herbs in my drinks! But rosé is something that people either love or hate. If you are having people over, make sure to find out if they’d be open to this recipe before you make it!

Winter is the perfect time for mulled wine and adding a little sparkle makes it a good New Year’s drink idea!

Lavender is so underrated in cocktails! I always have lavender in my kitchen to infuse in things, like lavender lemonade or lavender sugar for baking, so this lavender gimlet is right up my alley!

You can’t go wrong with ginger! It’s one of my favorite flavors. And pairing it with apple makes this a great drink idea for the evening.

Yum! Raspberry is a great flavor that you don’t see a lot of in cocktails. A gin fizz is a great New Year’s Eve sipper.

Don’t you just get excited when you hear “punch”?! I do! This recipe uses vodka and rum and sounds fruity and delicious! This is sure to be a crowd-pleaser!

You just can’t go wrong with a standard peach bellini!

My mom and I were just having a conversation about brandy and now I think I need to get some to keep on hand for delicious-sounding winter cocktails like this one.

A classic champagne cocktail is a great drink to have ready to cheers with as the ball drops and wish your friends and family another exciting new year!

This fun wine cocktail features blackberries and champagne. It's fruity and refreshing with the perfect amount of fizz. This one is a great New Years cocktail for a crowd.

This is the perfect idea to celebrate with friends! These are a classy version of a Jello Shot. With white wine and grapefruit, these are super delicious and easy to make!
