Twelve cocktails on the New Year’s table in the year of the horse

Happy New Year, my dear readers. Here is another year behind, an interesting and memorable year. It was an interesting period for the magazine: new articles, new acquaintances, new ideas and interests. I hope next year will be no less interesting for Romovy.

On New Year’s holidays, I hasten to share with you another selection of cocktails. Last time it was 13 cocktails with tangerines, the symbol of the New Year and everything connected with it. On this day, I decided to focus on another companion of this holiday – champagne. Sparkling wines, so loved by the weaker sex, perfectly complement cocktails, give them lightness, airiness and a rather interesting taste.

I didn’t call them in a New Year’s way, as many bartenders like to do – they say, as they called, they sold it. No, the cocktails below have original, author’s names. Just remember that such drinks should not be eaten with chocolate.
