New Years Eve cocktail ideas

[jekajekalynn]

My dh and I were thinking since his parents are going to take ds3 for New Years Eve night, him and I might make ourselves a few drinks to toast . lol So, I was wondering what are some of your fave cocktails?

We are not boozers in the least bit, but every once and a while we like to let are hair down to a degree. To tell you how out of the ordinary drinking is for us, I refered to the liquor store last night as "That place where you get liquor... you know...The alcohol shop"

Also, the "main" ingredient for alcohol is Vodka, so any recipe with this would be great.

We like "Cowboy Punch" straight from Pleasure Island in WDW!

1 cup pinapple juice
1 cup sprite
1/2 cup Malibu or Captain Morgan's Rum (I know you asked for Vodka..sorry)
1/4 cup of blue curacao
Garnish with banana slices.

If I am gonna have a drink I like a Creamsicle:
Ingredients:
2.0 scoops vanilla Ice Cream
0.5 oz Orange juice
0.5 oz Triple sec
0.5 oz Vodka

Directions: Add all ingredients in blender and blend at high speed until smooth, about 30 seconds. Serve with straw in dessert or cocktail glass. Tastes just like a Dreamsicle!

I like Apple Martinis with Grey Goose Vodka and Dekuyper Sour Apple Pucker Schnapps. Not sure what else may be in there. Yummy.

For a festive holiday cocktail, pour one ounce of Grand Marnier and one ounce of cranberry juice into a champagne flute. Top up with dry champagne or sparkling wine (about four ounces). Looks and tastes great!

If you prefer vodka-based drinks this is a lovely, tropical one:

1 cup crushed ice
1.5 ounce vodka
4 ounces pineapple juice
1 ounce cream of cocnut

Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour and garnish with a slice of pineapple if desired.

Enjoy!

My vodka drink of choice is a White Russian...vodka, kahlua, and milk/cream. Pour over ice and shake.

Ohh, I should add that the reason for for Vodka recipes is because we are going to buy some Skyy Vodka to use in a recipe we got from my dh friend for a cocktail using Godiva liquour.

MMM!! This sound wonderful!! I am a vodka drinker myself. (If and when I do drink, that is) My problem is that I've had Gastric Bypass, so I have to be careful what kind of mixes I use. I can't have anything too sugary. I usually end up with a Screwdriver, but I'm getting so bored with them. I would love to try something a little more exotic. I think I might be able to find some low sugar pineapple juice. Hopefully a little coconut cream won't hurt me too much.

My roomate and I are having a small cocktail party for New Year's...and this is one of the drinks we are making:


Ingredients
1 1/2 oz vodka
1/4 oz Chambord® raspberry liqueur
1/4 oz fresh pineapple juice
1 twist lemon peel

Pour each of the above into a tall bar glass. Shake with ice, pour into a cocktail or martini glass, and serve.


Happy New Year!
