New Year’s Eve drinks should look like a celebration without turning you into the bartender all night. These seven cocktails are easy, party-ready and chosen for a real evening — from the first glass to the midnight toast.

Ruby-red, festive and made for 12, this Christmas punch combines cranberry, pink grapefruit, gin and dry bubbles. It looks like a holiday centerpiece but drinks brighter and drier than the usual sweet party bowl.
