I can’t believe Christmas is around the corner… and before we know it, it’ll be time to ring in the New Year! For the past ten years or so, we’ve done our New Year’s Eve celebrations at home; keeping things low key with pizza and the New Year’s countdown on TV. This year, though, I wanted to change things up a bit.
Instead of toasting with regular champagne I added a fruity twist and brightened things up with Mike’s Hard Lemonade. Truth be told, I do not like champagne at all, so the midnight toast never really appealed to me because it was followed by a sip of something I didn’t enjoy the taste of. This year, though, I’ll be sipping strawberry lemonade champagne so I’ll happily be toasting with my glass of pink bubbly in hand. What I love most about this drink is that it’s super simple but adds a lot of happiness (and deliciousness) to the occasion. So, if champagne isn’t your drink of choice… I’ve got a simple fix and easy recipe you can use to ring in the New Year just right!
To make strawberry lemonade champagne, just fill your flute two thirds full with Mike’s Hard Strawberry Lemonade and top your glass off with the champagne. You can even add some lemon zest or muddled strawberry at the bottom of your glass if you’d like to. The strawberry lemonade flavor is my favorite Mike’s Hard Lemonade, but you can use the other flavors if you prefer.
Mike’s Hard Lemonade can brighten any occasion this holiday season, from holiday parties to that late-night wrapping session you are bound to have on Christmas Eve. However you celebrate, I hope you all have a festive rest of your holiday season and a fantastic start to your New Year!

That sounds like such a tasty way to ring in the new year. It sounds really delicious.
Now this is a new Mike’s I need to try- I am not a heavy weight drinker, but I like to drink socially. This is a great option for me to get in on the festivities!
That looks absolutely delicious! I usually stay in for the New Year, since I don’t usually like to leave the kids with a babysitter. This sounds perfect. I love the combination.
Oh my this sounds delicious! I love Mike’s Hard but I have actually never tried the strawberry lemonade flavor before. I will definitely have to get some when I go to the store to prepare for my New Years party!
I love the combination of strawberries and lemonade. Add some champagne and it sounds like the perfect beverage for NYE.
Mike’s hits the spot every time. New Year’s Eve is when we break this stuff out!
I haven’t had Mike’s Hard Lemonade in ages. I’ll have to pick some up for New Year’s Eve.
That does sound like a yummy beverage to serve. New Years Eve is a fun day to celebrate with family and friends. I haven’t gone out in years, but love having celebrations at home.
I’ve never had that flavor of Mike’s before! Sounds yummy with the champagne added to give it a little bubbly fun. Perfect for New Years!
Yes, please! This is a great cocktail for all the non-wine-drinkers that want a sweeter version! YUM.
I haven’t heard of this champagne but it sounds good for celebration.
