14 Champagne Cocktails to Ring in the New Year

While there’s only one or two varieties of wine that I’ll drink, when it comes to champagne, I’m a big fan. Maybe it’s the bubbles that make me feel fancy, maybe it’s the fact that it’s a drink usually reserved for special occasions . . . but champagne has always been my preference. And since I love fruity beverages, champagne cocktails are one of my favorite drinks, especially during the holidays.

When Ben and I got married at his aunt’s estate, she served champagne and cranberry juice to the girls as we got ready for the big deal (including my underage sister, who would sneak a sip out of my cup every time she “selflessly” got me a refill. I have a photo to prove it. Damn kid.)

Since New Year’s Eve is coming up in a few weeks, I’ve been thinking of ways I can jazz up our midnight toast.  From sweet and fruity to crisp herb accents, these 14 champagne cocktails will help celebrate the start of a delicious 2014!
