Today we're making 3 celebratory sparkling cocktails to ring in the new year! Today we're making a Champagne Cocktail, an Airmail, and a mash-up of mine called the Brambubble (think of a French 75 with crème de mûre, or a Bramble with champagne - either way, it's tasty). Hope you enjoy these final 3 of 2023. Thank you, everybody, for an incredible year on the channel! Here's to the next one. Happy New Year! 🍾
