I have to admit that I don’t partake in the traditional bubbly at the new year, but I am a MOCKTAIL lover! As a child I grew up with a mom who was always concocting fun drinks for us girls. You know, a girl cannot live on a Shirley Temple alone. We called them Spritzers and she was always very creative.
Jamie and I have come up with a few Spritzers for you as you ring in the New Year tomorrow.
White Grape Spritzer
![WB_015[3]](https://lh6.ggpht.com/_vust898tmIA/TRw2bA5xtHI/AAAAAAAAA6s/hfesDEpnu6Y/s1600-h/WB_015%5B3%5D%5B4%5D.jpg "WB_015[3]")
-
1 part White Grape Juice
-
1 part Ginger Ale
This is a perfect bit of bubbly to toast the New Year and much cheaper that the sparkling cider alternative.
Cranberry Lime Spritzer

- 1 part Cranberry Juice
- 1 part Ginger Ale
- A squeeze of lime
I am a lime lover so this is one of my favorites!
Blueberry Pomegranate Spritzer
![WB_035[5]](https://lh4.ggpht.com/_vust898tmIA/TRw2dwoQl8I/AAAAAAAAA68/5x4SIQX0sgc/s1600-h/WB_035%5B5%5D%5B4%5D.jpg "WB_035[5]")
- 1 part Blueberry Pomegranate Juice
- 2 parts Ginger Ale
- Garnish with pomegranate seeds
The color with this one is stunning!
Sour Apple Spritzer

-
1 part Sour Apple syrup
-
3 parts Ginger Ale
-
Garnish with cherries
Huge fan of this one as well. Who needs an Appletini when you can have a Sour Apple Spritzer?
Now, don’t forget the details…

…add some fun embellishments to your stemware. Ribbon, tulle, Divine Twine… get creative! I also used my new Silhouette SD to etch my stemware and bottle. (Santa was very good to me this year!!)
However you choose to welcome the New Year—at a glamorous party or snuggled in bed with your sweetheart—know that we here at WhipperBerry wish you a fabulous New Year!!
Kisses…

"Sour Apple imitation liqueur {I like the Pucker brand}"
Where on earth do you get this? Could you use Green Apple Flavored Soda?
what a great idea! I've been trying to think of something I could ring the New Years in with this year, since I'm pregnant! Thanks:)
So festive! Thanks for the ideas!
I want those glasses! Just one more dang reason I need a vinyl machine. . . The hubby and I are going to try some of these!!!
Yummy AND gorgeous! Love it. I spotted you featured on Gordon Gossip and I posted a link on ediblecrafts.craftgossip.com. 🙂
Pucker is actually a form of schnapps, so it has a low alcohol percentage. Be careful not to serve to children 🙂
Yum! Thanks for the recipes! I grew up on the sparkling grape juice on New Years… my brother and I called it our "bubbly". At 26, I still prefer it! 🙂

I am IN LOVE with your blog! I just found it this morning and can't seem to pull myself away from the computer! (well .. maybe long enough to grab a blueberry waffle my daughter is making us for brunch :o) )
I will forever be a follower!
b.r.i.l.l.i.a.n.t. Why didn't I see this post before New Years??? 😉 My little family has 3 birthdays right in a row (jan, feb, mar)…I'll definitely be serving a few of these at the parties 🙂 The Cranberry Lime & the Blueberry Pomegranate look divine!
Thank you for the wonderful ideas! I just wanted to let you know that I made the blueberry pomegranate with the garnish and it was a hit. I do not drink alcohol but for my friends who do they loved it too they just added pomegranate vodka.
Love your photos. My mom and I make a similar spritzer and everyone loves it! Can’t go wrong with ginger ale for a non-alcoholic drink. 🙂
