There’s nothing like a cheeky cocktail to wet your whistle. These New Year’s Eve cocktail drinks are perfect for welcoming the new year!
I love a simple Vodka + Selzer, but I occasionally waiver to other spirits and craft cocktails. I think I’ll be sipping on a Vesper Martini this New Year’s Eve because, as you may or may not know, I am a huge James Bond fan! Casino Royale is my favorite of the Bond movies starring Daniel Craig.
Selecting one of these 10 craft cocktails is the perfect solution for waiving BYE-BYE to the last 12 months! If you are looking for a few items for your at-home NYE party, I’ve got you covered.
