Hi there! I am trying to put together a list of alcoholic drinks I can make for a New Year's party using mostly ingredients I have on hand. I have some Smirnoff 100, Cointreau, and Everclear right now. I'm willing to pick up one or two more types of alcohol, and I can pick up any number of non-alcoholic ingredients for use in the drinks. What alcoholic beverages would you recommend based on these conditions?

I found a cocktail that I think would be great for your New Year's party. Its main ingredients include Cointreau, vodka, and cranberry juice - all of which you have on hand. It's rated at 4.82/5, so it's a very popular choice! If you're willing to pick up just one more type of alcohol, you could also go for the Royal Cosmopolitan which includes champagne/prosecco, lime juice, triple sec, and cranberry juice. Both cocktails would be a hit at your party!
