This Graham Beck Bliss Demi Sec is a crowd favorite. Its fruity and nutty notes are great if your crew doesn’t care for the dry kind of bubbly. Give this toasty and sweet jewel a whirl without breaking the bank. Those champagne flutes will be clinking all night!

This bottle of Moet & Chandon Nectar Imperial Rosé is a coppery beauty. Not only will it be tasty, it’ll also look pretty suh-weet and heavenly in the glassware. Think elegant fruit bowl: juicy peaches and fresh-picked strawberries. It’s an amped-up adult fruit punch, you guys. Consider it a glass of dessert and a wonderful, sticky kiss on the mouth at midnight.

3) Krug’s Grande Cuvée - ($100 or less)

This Krug’s Grande Cuvée is a gold medal in our eyes. Somehow, you’ll breathe in floral and gingerbread. You’ll taste citrus, honey, and hazelnut. If you want to bring class, sophistication, complexity, and maturity to your New Year’s get-together, we highly recommend this bottle.

All you’ll need is champagne, apple cider, sugar, and ground cinnamon. It’s a great wintertime flavor profile. In the Town & Country Mag recipe, you’ll see that the rim of the champagne glass (or juice glass) is dipped in cinnamon sugar. Delish? Yes. Recipe Here!

2) Grape Sparklers

Sparklers are certainly a New Year’s tradition, but for these, you won’t need a lighter. Food & Wine says you will need four pounds of red grapes, plus Prosecco and fresh mint. You’ll be making your own grape juice so your guests can experience both the grape-ness and greatness in this sparkling cocktail! Recipe Here!

3) Garpefruit and Sage Champagne Cocktail

As you approach the new year, approach your bright future with a bright cocktail from the Floating Kitchen. The freshness of the grapefruit and sage are sure to get you ready for success. You’ll make a simple syrup and combine it with grapefruit juice, bitters, champagne, and fresh sage. If fresh grapefruit juice is within reach, make it happen. Your guests are going to ask for more, so buy cocktail supplies accordingly! Recipe Here!
