What makes a great New Year’s Eve cocktail is hard to define, and also subjective. Many New Years cocktails feature champagne, the traditional drink to the new year, but this list ventures beyond that limit for some exciting alternatives. (We also have bubbly champagne cocktails if you want them. And some classic winter cocktails.)

These drinks are easy to make, yet they have that wow factor you’d expect from the best New Year’s Eve cocktails. That way you don’t have to spend all night tending bar.
