New-Year’s Eve is typically known as one of the booziest nights of the year. But what if you’re choosing to go booze free? Whatever your reason for skipping the champagne, I want to make to make sure you have delicious and celebratory options so you can ring in the new year with taste and style! I’ve even included recommendations for booze-pairings, should you choose to share your beverages with a special someone who is imbibing 😉

I recommend making the syrups the day before for the Rosemary-Tangerine Spritzer and Ginger-Lime Fizz, so you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy your evening the day of the party!
