We know that spending New Year’s Eve at home isn’t everyone’s idea of a good time but it doesn’t have to be a boring night if you don’t want it to be. Whether you’re spending it within the safety of your bubble, your partner, or even yourself, you can still treat yourself to a fun night. Since leaving the house isn’t in the cards for us this year, it’ll be worth it to take the extra step to put on a glittery NYE outfit, make a special meal or order in from a local restaurant, and even have a couple of cocktails at the ready.
Instead of switching up the spirit, create a cocktail menu using your fave booze of choice for your at-home NYE shindig. Not sure where to start? Our friends at Glenfiddich have shared three different cocktail recipes that are all wonderful year-round but especially for New Year’s Eve. Each one of these cocktails are simple to put together and require ingredients you likely have already at home.
