Guilt-Free Drinks for New Year’s Eve Parties
Listen up, party people!
New Year’s Eve (or Hogmanay) isn’t just another night - it’s your chance to close the year in style - without the brutal morning-after consequences.
Read on for the Skinny Food Co.’s guide on how to throw a guilt-free party that won’t leave you feeling like a zombie on 1st January!
Low & Zero Sugar Cocktails and Mocktails
Making a New Year’s resolution to eat less sugar and do more exercise?
You need to check out these delicious cocktail mixers and flavour drops from The Skinny Food Co.
These yummy products will keep your party drinks light, tasty, and guilt-free so you can start the new year as you mean to go on.
Here are a few tasty recipes to get you started.
Midnight Temptation
This sweet sparkling drink has New Year’s Eve written all over it.
You’ll need a shot of vodka, three shots of Sex on the Beach Sugar-Free Skinny Cocktail Mixer, a splash of champagne or sparkling water, and a sprinkle of edible glitter.
Mix the vodka, cocktail mixer and champagne/sparkling water and blend with ice. For a delicious mocktail, just leave out the vodka!
Strain your drink into a highball glass and sprinkle the edible glitter on top.
Countdown Cosmopolitan
We love this fruity Cosmopolitan cocktail. Best of all, it comes without the sugar crash you’d get from a regular cosmo.
You’ll need a shot of vodka, a few Cosmopolitan Cocktail Sugar-Free Skinny Flavour Drops, fresh lime juice, a splash of sugar-free cranberry juice, and an orange wedge to garnish.
Combine all of the ingredients in a shaker and shake vigorously with ice.
Strain your drink into a chilled martini glass, then garnish with the orange wedge. Swap the vodka for sparkling water for a fruity mocktail.
If you like, add some crushed sugar-free sweets to the rim of the glass.
Pina Colada Kiss
This rum-based cocktail is classy but fun. Just add three parts of Pina Colada Sugar Free Skinny Cocktail Mixer to one part rum and blend it with ice.
For a virgin cocktail, leave out the rum! Serve in a hurricane glass with a pineapple wedge on the rim, or carve your pineapple to use it as a glass for your cocktail!
Pro Party Hosting Tips
1. Preparing your drinks in advance is a great way to avoid last-minute stress on the day of your party.
2. If you choose to drink alcohol on New Year’s Eve, alternating alcoholic drinks with soft drinks or water will help you to stay alert.
3. Next up, make it memorable. Forget basic decorations and head to the party shop. This New Year’s is all about creating an experience.
We’re thinking metallic balloon arches for an epic photo backdrop, strategic uplighting, a high-energy playlist, and zero-mess, maximum-impact decor.
Set up a photo station with a few fun party props so your guests can capture all the best moments of your New Year’s Eve party.
- Create your midnight countdown playlist in advance - set up a collaborative playlist using your favourite music streaming service, or ask your guests to send over a few of their favourite songs beforehand so you can add them to the list.
- Think ahead. No one wants to spend all of New Year’s Day tidying up. Put out some recycling bins or boxes and use recyclable plates and cups where possible.
- If you’re hosting your New Year’s party at home, setting up a designated drink zone is wise to minimise spills.
Don’t forget, when it comes to New Year’s Eve parties, our zero sugar, maximum flavour cocktail mixers and drops are the ultimate party hack!
And if you need something extra special for the midnight toast, grab a bottle of this non-alcoholic, zero-calorie sparkling rose and a box of high-protein Chocaholic Hazelnut Pralines.
