Some people can’t imagine New Year’s Eve without champagne, others prefer stronger drinks or a glass of good wine. But what if, for some reason or simply taste preference, you don’t drink alcohol? You will have to make sure that there are delicious non-alcoholic drinks on the festive table.

Few people will be surprised by store-bought juices and homemade compotes - for New Year's Eve you want to cook something special. And this is quite possible to do with the help of ordinary kitchen appliances: mixer, blender, shaker. You'll have to spend a little more effort, but it's worth it.

Instead of a shaker, a regular jar is quite suitable for mixing ingredients. You will also need a sieve for rubbing fruit and a mortar. Don't forget to prepare the ice in advance.

The New Year's table always pleases with an abundance of tasty and varied dishes, but multi-colored aromatic drinks also have a place on the festive table. If you know the preferences of the guests in advance, then I suggest choosing the recipe you like and preparing invigorating and tasty drinks. There is a wide selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks that are in demand among both adults and children.

Drink decoration

1. When serving a festive cup, cocktail, mulled wine, and other drinks, glassware is decorated with thin circles or slices of lemon, lime and orange. To do this, a radical cut is made in the circle and placed on the edge of a glass or wine glass.

2. For originality and beauty, berries and fruits you like can be chopped onto small skewers and placed in glasses. Another option is to decorate drinks with citrus zest.

3. Orange slices pierced with a cocktail stick and planted with small berries look beautiful.

4. I advise you to decorate the rims of the wine glasses in the form of a “snow coating”, sprinkling them with powdered sugar or sugar. To do this, wet the edge from the inside, and then drown the wine glass in the prepared raw materials.

1. The best mulled wine - made from figs and more

This festive drink breaks records, because look how many “fragrant bouquets” are collected here, and the taste is excellent and enchanting!

Required ingredients:

• red wine - 2 liters;
• sweet tangerine - 1 fruit;
• lemon zest - from 1 lemon;
• figs (ripe) - 7 pieces;
• blueberries - a handful;
• liquid honey - 3 tablespoons;
• cloves - 8 buds;
• cinnamon - 3 sticks;
• cardamom - 1/2 teaspoon.

Mulled wine preparation technology

We wash the figs, drain them with a paper towel, cut each one into four parts and place them in a saucepan. Add all the spices, berries and lemon zest. Then cut the tangerine in half and lightly squeeze out the juice with your hands. Pour honey over the fruit, close the container and put it in the refrigerator overnight.

Next, remove the contents from the cold, which are fragrant in every way, and put them on low heat. Warm up the “honey-spicy” fruits for seven minutes and cool. Pour the wine over the fruit and let it stand for about an hour at room temperature.

Place the saucepan over the lowest heat and begin to heat the contents of the bag for at least 20 minutes. But, I want to repeat that the longer the heating time, the more aromatic and tastier the mulled wine will be. Pour the finished drink into glasses and enjoy with great pleasure with delicious cheese and figs.

2. New Year's punch

Each of us already knows that punch is a cocktail drink, which is most often prepared with the addition of alcohol, natural juices and all kinds of additives.

Place the ice cream in a deep, comfortable bowl, then slowly pour in the juice and lemonade. Lastly, open the champagne and stir quickly. Pour a little pomegranate juice into the bottom of the glass, then pour the prepared mixture and serve immediately.

Until we meet again, my dear readers and friends, write, I will answer all your questions with great pleasure.

You can't do without drinks on the New Year's table. They wonderfully warm or cool, invigorate, refresh and intoxicate. It all depends on what kind of drinks you will drink on New Year's Eve. On holiday, you can indulge in your favorite drink, but you still need to observe moderation in everything so that the first day of the new year does not go unnoticed. After all, the New Year is not only about food and drinks, it is also about fun, music, and communication.
You need to choose drinks for the New Year 2019: recipes with photos not after you have chosen what you will cook, but at the same time as the dishes. After all, food and drinks should be in harmony with each other. You need to choose alcoholic New Year's drinks especially carefully. If you choose white wines, then give preference to fish dishes, cheese, and light salads. Red wine is an ideal companion for hot meat dishes. Vodka is perfect with caviar and fatty snacks. What dishes go well with cocktails depends on what kind of cocktails they are.
Now New Year's drinks are very diverse. If you haven’t chosen anything ready-made, you can read the recipes for New Year’s drinks and make them yourself. It’s especially good to cook it yourself if you need New Year’s drinks for children. Natural milkshakes, compotes from frozen or dried fruits, unusual teas with additives and other drinks prepared at home are much tastier and healthier than sweet store-bought soda.
Drinks for the New Year of the Pig should be natural. This noble animal loves only environmentally friendly products and drinks only clean water. Therefore, the most important drink on the New Year's table is water. Hot drinks for the year of the pig should also be natural. Maybe it will be mulled wine or tea, if you prefer non-alcoholic drinks for the New Year's table. Just like children, many adults love milkshakes. White as snow, they will look great on the New Year's table.
Selecting and preparing drinks for the New Year's table 2019 is a great pleasure. This is an opportunity to show your imagination. If inspiration strikes you, you can come up with your own recipes, or add new ingredients to long-known cocktails to make them even more interesting and festive. If the recipe is quite bold, then test it first on a small portion of the drink, and preferably do it in advance, and not on New Year's Eve.

But people always want not only to drink and cool down, but also to satisfy their taste preferences. In addition, natural drinks are also a “supplier” of useful vitamins and microelements to our organs.

Drinks that do not contain alcohol are called non-alcoholic. They are often carbonated and drunk chilled.

• smoothie (smooth drink);
• tea and coffee;
• fruit drink;
• punch;

Kvass is also considered non-alcoholic, although it may contain 1-2% alcohol. Today you can find non-alcoholic beer and even champagne.

Nowadays, many research institutes are studying the properties of such drinks and their effect on human health.

Traditionally, drinks are divided into warm and cool.

Cooking recipes can range from the most ordinary to the culinaryly complex, but they are all aimed at getting an amazing taste and maximum benefits, because you can add fruits and various spices to any drink without alcohol.

By the way, some recipes for life-giving drinks can even act as a kind of medicine (for bronchitis or cough). After all, the baby will drink the delicious mixture with great pleasure. And some even use such drinks as a means of losing weight (for example, banana jelly).

Grind through the zest, add a liter of water and leave for 15-20 minutes. Pour the remaining water, sugar and lemon into another container and mix. Mix both compounds and pass through a sieve. Keep in the refrigerator for no longer than 4 days. The remainder (cake) can be used as a filling.
