Champagne is great on its own but it can also be enhanced with just one or two simple additions. What I really like about these easy champagne cocktails is that the liqueur or juice adds a touch of sweet to what can otherwise be a dry drink.

Here are just 5 easy options you can use to dress up your champagne this New Year's Eve.

  1. Champagne and Chambord - It's pretty obvious what this drink contains and you'll love the sweet raspberry background. Or add vodka to build a Vampire Kiss Cocktail.
  2. Poinsettia - Simply begin with Cointreau and cranberry for this seasonal delight.
  3. Kir Royale - A touch of creme de cassis adds a touch of sweet blackcurrant to the dry base. Add amaretto for an Axis Kiss.
  4. Bellini - Peach plays a pivotal role in this favorite sparkling drink.
  5. Champagne Flamingo - Add vodka and Campari and enjoy this bubbly beverage before dinner or at midnight.
