That was fun and all, but there was just one problem: it turns out we don’t really like most kinds of of champagne! Because we adore NYE celebrations so much, however, we’ve found ways around that without losing out on the tradition. Now we make ourselves all kinds of delicious cocktails that involve champagne but are filled with other delicious (and often holiday flavoured) ingredients as well.
