18 Bubbly Cocktails for that New Year's Eve Toast

Ring in the new year right with one of these 18 Bubbly Cocktails perfect for a New Year's Eve midnight toast...

A new year is just around the corner, folks. I am not the type to set unrealistic New Year's resolutions. Or to write out a long list of personal & professional goals that I hope to accomplish over the next 365 days. 

And I have never chosen a word to reflect my purpose or focus for the upcoming year. Not dogging those who do, but it just doesn't happen to be my thing. 

But what is my thing at the beginning of each new year is to start it off right with a bubbly champagne-filled toast at midnight. (Now I may or may not promptly pass out right after that midnight toast, but that is beside the point. ;) )

My favorite way to raise a glass to the start of a new year is with a fizzy & fun cocktail in hand. I mean, I do like a glass of good champagne just as much as the next gal, but we all know that the real stuff (aka, French champagne) can get a little pricey. 

So I like to go with the cheaper stuff (think sparkling wines & prosecco), but I doctor them up a bit with my favorite liquors & fruits so that you can't even tell that you are not drinking the expensive bubbly. 

Clever, right? I get to ring in the new year with a glass of delicious bubbles & not break the bank in the process.

If you happen to share my same sentiments about a bubbly New Year's Eve toast, then you are going to love this collection of 18 sparkling cocktails I am sharing with you all today. You are sure to find the perfect glass of bubbles to ring in the new year with below...

It is hard to believe that Christmas is done and over with and New Year's Eve is just right around the corner! Where did the time go, you all? 

Just because Santa has made his annual visit here, it doesn't mean that holiday entertaining is over in this house, folks. ;) 

We often host  one or two impromptu (and sometimes planned) end of the year get-togethers with friends and family.

To make sure we are always at the ready to entertain last minute or unexpected guests, I stock up on a few of the essentials... like cheese and crackers, chocolates, and of course bubbly mixers that are perfect for festive cocktails and fun mocktails for the kiddos. ;)

The frugal hostess in me was thrilled to see our favorite 2 liter bottles of mixers- 7UP and Canada Dry Ginger Ale on sale at our local Walmart for just $1 each this past week.

Of course, I had to stock up on these entertaining essentials when I find them at such a great price! :) 

In addition to the traditional 7UP and Canada Dry Ginger Ale, I also grabbed a 2 liter of the Cranberry Canada Dry Ginger Ale for a festive touch for drinks.

Every New Year's Eve, I try to come up with a new cocktail to serve my guests. The inspiration for this French 7UP5 Champagne Cocktail actually comes from the French 75, a champagne cocktail that was created in France during World War I. This cocktail with a kick got it's name from a popular and powerful French field gun used during the war. 

The traditional cocktail is concocted using lemon juice, simple syrup, Champagne, and gin. I simplified the cocktail a bit and made it a little more bubbly by using 7UP instead of the lemon juice and simple syrup...
