Happy New Year’s Eve! For festive party-goers or for curl-up-and-stay-home-bodies, the night is a perfect excuse to bust out some of that bubbly you’ve been saving.
Champagne, or sparkling wine, is one of my favorite beverages. I’ve always been a fan of the bubbly, and I drink it on every special occasion.
That said, not everyone in your party is always a huge fan. So sometimes, they are more apt to try a glass of the festive stuff if it’s in the form of a cocktail. Fair enough!

Sometimes, all you need is a few drops of Chambord or another flavored liqueur to brighten up those glasses of bubbly. Or, you can liven up a party with a Champagne punch. No matter what you choose, it’s a fun way to celebrate the New Year!
Here are a few of my favorite Champagne varieties and recipes. Have a safe and happy New Year’s Eve!
