With its unique, deep blue color and effervescent charm, this Champagne cocktail is perfect for New Year's Eve or any other festive occasion. The subtle floral hints of crème de violette pair perfectly with the bright, seasonal citrus and your favorite gin. Leftover crème de violette can be stirred into glazes for pastry or used to macerate berries.

MIDNIGHT FIZZ



Midnight Fizz image

While a classic gin fizz uses lemon juice, the sweet acidity of lime in this variation skews it toward a (very) frothy gimlet. To ensure plenty of that froth, use a double shake to make the cocktail: first without ice to foam the egg white, then a second time with ice to chill and dilute the drink. Serve traditionally without ice in a small Collins or fizz glass, or go rogue and serve over a few cubes. Either way, as with all egg white drinks, drink with efficiency to capitalize on the drink's froth and avoid its inevitable separation.
