We like our cocktails. Okay, we like our wine, too… but for New Year’s we firmly believe you need a cocktail. This one will satisfy them all. Picky drinkers, well they are dealt with the champagne (…but let’s be honest, we used “sparkling wine”… cheaper, people, cheaper)… mixed drink people, they get vodka… and for those people that don’t want a “girly” drink, well…. again there is vodka AND champagne .. enough to make my head feel it a touch after one drink.
How to make a Champagne Cosmopolitan
Add vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice and lime juice to a cocktail shaker filled to the brim with ice.
NOTE: Mix all of this before hand then keep it in t a pitcher in the fridge, your guests can pour the chilled mix into their glass and top with champagne when they are ready to drink. Make a big batch, you’ll need it.
Now, add the chilled champagne or “sparking wine”… you can totally go a little cheaper here, we did, anyway.
Now, enjoy!
