Ring in the New Year with Bubbly Beverages from DR Mixologist

Sexy SparkleNew Year’s always seems more merry when raising a glass filled with a bubbly beverage. For a light, refreshing cocktail — or mocktail — worthy of toasting another 365 days, we suggest the Sexy Sparkle, a recipe from Hudson Bar drink wiz Darryl Robinson, also known as DR Mixologist.

The champagne in this recipe adds the necessary festive fizz, while the ginger and orange combine for a unique holiday flavor.

Directions for Sexy Sparkle: Pour 1 ounce orange-flavored vodka and 1 ounce ginger liquor, such as Domaine de Canton or DeKuyper Ginger Flavored Brandy, into a champagne flute. Fill remainder of glass with champagne.

Directions for mocktail version: Combine muddled ginger or ginger candy and 1 ounce orange juice in champagne flute. Top off with Martinelli’s Sparkling Cider.

Enjoy! Do you have a traditional New Year’s Eve cocktail or favorite hors d’oeuvre recipe?
