If you’re not celebrating the upcoming holiday season with a delicious bubbly beverage in your hand, did you even celebrate? A glass of something sparkling is practically a prerequisite for watching the ball drop and welcoming the incoming year. Plus, you made it through another year of adulting, so you deserve to treat yourself. Sure, a simple glass of champagne is the standard, but why not take it up a notch with your New Year’s Eve drinks this year? 

Whether you prefer champagne, the closely related but fruitier prosecco, or just something fizzy, we’ve got ideas for fun, fancy, effervescent drinks you can mix up this holiday, for every personality–and New Year’s looks to wear with them! Ahead, check out our all-time favorite sparkling New Year’s Eve cocktails–and get ready to raise a glass to the start of something new.
