While the pandemic has turned the world and most holiday traditions upside down, let’s remember the true spirit of the season and toast to a New Year ahead. Whether celebrating the holidays via Zoom or a small gathering with your isolation squad, celebrate at home with these festive AF cocktails. 

Don’t forget to continue supporting our local restaurants, bars, and small businesses as the season continues! Not to mention, there is no shortage of seasonal cocktails if to-go is more your jam.

If you’re not sure where to start with your own mixology and cocktailing adventures, don’t hesitate to slide into @JerseyDrinks DMs anytime to learn more about home mixology kits delivered to craft seasonal cocktails right from your home. Limited small group kits are still available for NYE {hello, bubbly dranks}. Cheers!
