My roommates and I are hosting our own New Year’s Eve party this year. We would like to offer some festive drinks for the occasion beyond a keg or a standard bar. Can you suggest anything?

For a New Year’s party there are a few styles to consider: Hot, cold and cocktails. DCist is a fan of offering a variety, perhaps a hot drink and a cocktail bar, or perhaps start with a hot selection early and have a cold punch later, with cocktails intermingled. We’ve pulled out some recipes that you may enjoy, we know that we have enjoyed them in the past (and some are on deck for the next few weeks. YUM!) DCist suggests that you try them out before hand to ensure everything is in order.
