What are you drinking tonight?

[Darkhorse]

This holiday is dedicated to drinking which is why it is the best. So, what are you doing for New Years Eve and what will you be drinking? Recipes are a plus.

I'll be mixing and imbibing a variety of champagne cocktails.

French 75
2 parts gin
1 parts lemon juice
1 parts simple syrup
top with champagne
lemon twist

Old Cuban
2 parts aged rum
1 parts lime juice
1 parts simple syrup
2 dashes angostura bitters
top with champagne
mint leaves

Black Velvet
1 part stout beer
1 part champagne

Ritz Cocktail
4 parts cognac
2 parts luxardo
2 parts cointreau
1 parts lemon juice
top with champagne
orange twist

I won't normally open a whole bottle of champagne to make those cocktails for myself, but with company and the special occasion it should be a lot of fun. I'll probably have one of each and then some sazeracs and diamondbacks to round out the night.

Bourbon (from a local distillery), neat.

Well, I was going to be drinking beer and mojitos. But, now I'll be drinking an Old Cuban. (wow - that sounds bad)

Beer and whatever cheap nasty champagne the club gives out.

Cava mimosas and probably beers laced thither and yon

[Mr.Bill]

Italian white wine and NY gin and tonics..

Maybe a shot of Grand Marnier with a cigar on the front porch at mid-night.

What is a NY gin and tonic?
