Sparkling Vodka Cocktails to Welcome the New Year in Style

The ambiance always begins with thoughtful details in mind. Decorations are installed in a specific layout to match and sparkling holiday cocktails turn out to be more than just a drink. They too are a decorative element that shimmers in the light of candles and Christmas tree garlands. Guests will only be more entranced and amazed, immersed even when elegant glasses with a sparkling drink are handed out. LEX by Nemiroff is a premium vodka, and merely the smell of its open bottle calls for the spirit of New Year. Be it LEX Icon or MERYLEX, any vodka cocktail for New Year becomes the center of the evening in gleeful anticipation of the clock to strike and announce the arrival of midnight.

Think for a minute, what do you know about alcohol? The quickest conclusion you’ll jump to is the negative effects. Well, have you ever thought that sparkling vodka drinks can actually be beneficial? 

First and probably the most important advantage is they symbolize the same joy and effervescence that champagne would. However, this spirit has a cleaner and more complex character. Second, these fizzy vodka drinks are incredibly versatile. Lastly, winter vodka cocktails would be of interest to the hearty people with curiosity in light sensations instead of heaviness. Here's why they're perfect:

• Using association tools: Bubbles have been known to be a symbol of new beginnings.
• Versatility: Open to go with a myriad of different tastes, hopefully satisfying even the most fastidious person. 
• Lightness: Considering heavy dinners are typical during the holidays, this is how you don’t overload your digestive system.
• Elegance: A perfect touch for those who have a creative streak or value beauty in everything, even down to cocktails.  
• Complexity: Premium vodka has this specific depth that is not inherent in sparkling wine.

All of these factors make fizzy vodka drinks a winning choice for creating an unforgettable holiday mood.

When presenting signature cocktails – the apparent need to pick the right glassware gets to be only half the problem. Unsurprisingly, the glass affects how the bubbles hold up and even how the aroma is perceived. A flute is where New Year’s Eve vodka cocktails are usually poured into. Its tall, narrow shape holds the bubbles longer and directs the aroma straight to your nose. Lovers of something nuanced and old, would be happy to use another popular choice – a vintage coupe. Wide glasses are not suitable for red wine, particularly because they drain the drink quickly. Making the right choice in a glassware question, demonstrates how sophisticated the cocktails are.

Any type of party requires thorough preparation. If your goal is to spend minimum time in front of the shaker and make the most of the night with the visitors, try to have the ingredients of your festive vodka cocktails laid out and ready to use in advance. The main ingredient is, of course, LEX by Nemiroff. Classic matrimony of purity and smoothness are the epitome of perfection for sparkling wines and tonics. Create a base mix (for example, LEX with fruit syrup or juice) and chill it. Remember, combine still ingredients with sparkling ingredients only before serving. Otherwise, you risk the drinks being watered down and lose all original intended taste. To avoid mistakes and disappointment make sure to:

• Pre-chill all of the ingredients, including glasses.
• Prepare a base mix of LEX and depending on your choice juice or syrup.
• Cut fruit for garnish.
• Pour the base into a glass, add ice, carefully add sparkling drink, before serving.
• Serve straight after "accessorising" with garnishes.

This will allow you to quickly prepare the best vodka cocktails for New Year’s Eve for all guests.

To pull the whole ensemble together and turn it into a signature cocktail – add garnish. For sparkling holiday cocktails, you should aim for something elegant, well-known just like traditions are, and not heavy. Citrus zest remains a classic, adding freshness and a hint of tanginess. Frozen raspberries, blueberries, and especially cranberries can serve a more donnish soul, or be of a helping magic wand to those with citrus allergies. Aside from being  visually appealing, berries call for a slight sourness that the drink might lack, setting fireworks on your tongue. Should you wish for a flavor that strongly correlates with winter, use a sprig of rosemary or a thin cinnamon stick. The main rule is that a garnish should not overload the glass or your tastebuds. 

Anyone who has ever wanted to or celebrated any major holiday knows – proper food pairings and wisely chosen drinks bring out the overall enjoyment.

Thinking about ephemeral detail that would be of a great addition to the New Year’s menu? Well, look no farther. Winter vodka cocktails are your obvious choice, and they have bubbles which time and time again proved to be a superior visual. Not just that, but also a good alternative to water and bread as palette cleanses. Light fizzy drinks with citrus notes are ideal for seafood appetizers – oysters or caviar. And New Year's cake or foie gras pâté are suitable substitutions for sweet tooth. It is important that the premium vodka in the cocktail is of sufficient quality. LEX's complex profile with notes of linden, white grapes and bergamot allows it not to "get lost" next to delicious food.

Once again we will remind you, dear reader, the true New Year celebration meaning is making new memories, cheering for unique moments, and being in the heart of the moment with your loved ones. Sparkling drinks, created on the basis of LEX by Nemiroff is exactly that – an amalgamation of celebration and extraordinary taste. Santa Claus used to be the one to create all the holiday magic, but now that we’ve grown up it’s time to take responsibility and become our own creator. You start with identifying the best glassware and end with making your own garnishes, all the magic can be created by your own hands. Let these sophisticated cocktails become part of your New Year's tradition and open the year with a spark of true luxury and refined taste.

Happy Holidays season and enjoy responsibly!
