The drinks will set the mood for the entire evening, and if you’re worried about your lack of bartending skills, these easy New Years’ Eve cocktails are ready to impress without the heavy-duty work.

Cinnamon Sour Cocktail

It’s a whiskey sour with a cinnamon twist making it a warm and spicy cocktail for a relaxed and quiet evening with friends. Even making the homemade cinnamon syrup is easy for those new to building cocktails, but it adds the extra your guests will appreciate.

Cranberry Cosmopolitan

Cranberry and orange go together like vodka and shakers. You’ll need all four for this wonderfully delicious take on the cosmopolitan. It’s still a classic, however, you flavor it, and will always be a hit at any New Years’ Eve party. Just be sure to chill plenty of glasses before the guests arrive!

New Years’ Sparkler

This has to be one of the easiest drinks on the list and is perfect for parties where quantity is essential to the atmosphere. You can help save time by having the raspberries already skewered so you can measure, pour, and top off with your favorite champagne in no time at all.

Boozy Hot Chocolate

If you’re in a colder climate, welcome your guests in with a warming cup of hot cholate. Not just any kind of hot cholate, though. This spiked hot cocoa will fight off the chills, for sure. Stock up on plenty of mini marshmallows!

Sparkling Julep

It’s a mint julep, elevated to reach the highest of all drinking holidays, New Years’ Eve. But, for the most part, it’s the classic cocktail we already know and love. Just add some sparkling champagne, and you have a wonderfully bright cocktail that is perfect for the midnight toast.

Blood Orange Sangria

Sangria is typically a summer favorite, but this blood orange twist on the classic might just change your mind about that. Blood oranges can be a little challenging to find, but if you can locate some, they will certainly impress your guests with their sheer presence alone, not to mention the tasty beverage.

Cold Brew Negroni

The Negroni is a blank canvas that is just waiting for new and exciting palettes of flavor.
