Rethink the bubbly for these sparkling cocktails
December 29, 2015 by DarcieChampagne has long been associated with New Year’s Eve revelry, alone and in classic cocktails like the French 75 and Kir Royale. But there is a broader world of effervescent drinks that would be right at home when ringing in the new year, says Colin Powers of The Oregonian. In a story exploring offerings at various Oregon bars, he notes that cava, prosecco, and sparkling cider can also elevate your cocktails.
Sparkling drinks range from light and floral to bold and funky, says Powers. You can make individual cocktails or whip up a pitcher at a time for a party. Naturally, the EYB Library is bubbling over with great sparkling cocktails to add creativity to your New Year’s Eve drinks.
