Cocktails Perfect For Ringing In the New Year
Nothing says ‘Happy New Year’ more than a night out with friends raising a toast with your favorite cocktail as the clock ticks down. McCray’s Tavern off Lower Roswell Road in East Cobb is a great way to kick off your celebration and carry a full lunch and dinner menu. Plus, McCray’s Tavern is the go-to place for weekend brunch, where they have a build-your-own Bloody Mary special.
Let’s take a look at a few cocktails perfect for ringing in the New Year at McCray’s East Cobb Tavern or ones to make at home with family and friends.
You Can’t Go Wrong with a Margarita
Margaritas come in all sizes and flavors and are a great addition to any festive occasion. The pineapple jalapeno margarita is a fantastic flavor from McCray’s East Cobb. Built with dulce vida tequila, bravo orange, serrano, jalapeno, and agave, this drink will get you in the holiday spirit.
It pairs well with 6th Street Nachos or any of the specialty craft burgers like the Matador or the S&S Smash. And if you want to spice things up, even more, try out the Buffalo Chicken Dip with tortilla chips and pita bread.
Mimosas Aren’t Just for Breakfast
If you were hoping to start the New Year in an exotic locale and your plans didn’t quite pan out, then the classic flavors of a Mimosa might be just the ticket to get you back in a holiday mood. Made from sparkling wine or champagne and fresh-squeezed orange juice, Mimosas are fun to drink (we all could use a bit more fizz in our life) and taste good too.
Tasting Notes
If fizzy and sparkly aren’t your idea of a good time, then why not check out McCray’s special line of bourbon flavors? The Tasting Notes menu has four options: the Makers 46, Roasted French Mocha, Seared Spice, and a Seared French Cuvee.
Or, if you prefer something old-fashioned, ask your server to bring you a Private Select Old Fashioned made from Pierre Ferrand cognac, angostura, mole bitters, and demerara. Your taste buds will certainly thank you!
Champagne Works Too
Sometimes you can’t beat a classic and nothing says ‘Let’s celebrate!’ more than a flute of the bubbly as the world counts down. Champagne comes in many flavors, and whether you spring for a bottle of Dom Perignon or reach for an affordable bottle of Brut from your favorite retailer, toasts and celebrations will surely be raised all around.
Watch the Sun Rise
Now that you and your friends have watched the peach drop, some might want to be calling it a night. One of the great things about New Year’s Eve this year is that it falls on a Saturday night. Why not round out a great evening by watching the sun come up with a Tequila Sunrise? McCray’s East Cobb Tavern has everything you need to bring in the New Year, from cocktails to appetizers. Stop by and visit today!
