Champagne is virtually synonymous with New Year's Eve. And when the holiday is also your wedding day, it's a drink menu requirement. That's where these festive bubbly cocktails come. Make a toast to your next adventure as a married couple with one of these delicious spritzers in hand, to celebrate both your nuptials and your future together.

Whether you're throwing a major New Year's Eve bash or a quiet, intimate affair, put the following next-level cocktails on the menu. From Prosecco margaritas, to sparkling sangrias, party punches, and Champagne mules, these concoctions are bubbly takes on the classics. And with seasonal flavors of cranberry, pine, and peppermint, some of these drinks are a nod to the holidays, which are still fresh in our minds. Feeling something fruity, instead of wintry? We also packed this list with notes of fig, blackberry, apricot, and pomegranate, for couples who prefer their cocktails on the sweeter side.

While we're a huge fan of these complex flavor combos, we also appreciate our Champagne as is, sans a running ingredient list—after all, nothing screams "wedding" louder than a glass of frosty bubbly. If you fall into this camp, considering jazzing up your drink with unexpected adds, like fresh cranberries or tufts of cotton candy. Whichever way you decide to serve your end-of-year wedding day bubbly, there's a recipe here that you, your new spouse, and your guests will enjoy. And while the joy of your New Year's Eve wedding comes from spending it with loved ones, these dressed-up cocktails are sure to add to the merriment.
