New Year’s Eve should be celebrated in style, with a crowd of your nearest and dearest, upbeat tunes, exceptional food and invigorating cocktails. We have done the hard work for you and compiled a go-to list of some of our favourite cocktails of the year, so all you’ll have to do is ask your guests if they prefer their drink shaken or stirred.
A New Year’s Eve wouldn’t be complete without a traditional glass of bubbles. Mix things up by adding a squeeze of lemon and chopped raspberries to a champagne flute before adding your favourite brut.
