Vancouver mixologist Chris Chuy of Lavish Liquid wants to ensure you’re prepared to ring in the new year right! Here he’s compiled three timeless cocktails to keep your guests hydrated throughout the evening’s festivities.
A great party starter—something nice and dry, crisp and not too strong—to get your family, friends and guests in the party mood. Nothing says New Year’s party like a sparkling cocktail!
Serve in a wine glass, with lots of ice and a citrus wedge. I like to use grapefruit, but orange is the classic garnish for this Italian cocktail.
Something nice to sip on while enjoying some canapés or dinner with those around you! Add a bit more of a smokier profile when compared to a classic old fashioned, as it incorporates a splash of either a peated single malt scotch or mezcal.
Served in a rocks glass, you can build this one directly in the glass or prepare separately and strain into a fresh glass over ice. (If you’re not a fan of the smoky profile, you can skip the scotch or mezcal.)
This cocktail is an awesome one to have on hand for the midnight toast, and is really easy to make. It’s dry and fruity!
We have so many local B.C. bruts that are really delicious… I like to use Steller’s Jay brut… and Odd Society Spirits has a delicious crème de cassis, which is made from locally grown B.C. black currants.
Serve in a champagne flute. You can build it directly into a chilled glass and garnish with a lemon twist.
