Great New Year’s Eve Drinks
Of course champagne is at the top of the list. You just can’t have New Years without champagne. That would be like a Christmas without eggnog. Besides champagne, what else would make a great New Year’s drink? I’ve found three great alternatives to straight champagne this year. One is a nonalcoholic drink, so there is a little something for the kiddos too.
Ingredients: 1 can of nectar (any flavor), 1 can of pineapple juice, 3/4 cup cold water, 1 can thawed frozen orange juice concentrate and 1 bottle of champagne.
Directions: Stir everything together in a large bowl except for the champagne. Add the champagne to the mixture right before drinking.
