Ways to Switch It Up!
For Adults
Swap out the sparkling grape juice with champagne to create a champagne cocktail drink. The champagne’s bubbly, crisp flavor pairs well with the creamy strawberry ice cream. You can also try sparkling wines like Prosecco for a slightly sweeter alternative. Garnish with fresh raspberries or a twist of lemon zest for an elegant touch.
For Kids
Stick with sparkling grape juice for a kid-friendly option, or switch to different sparkling juices like apple, berry, or peach. You can also add a scoop of vanilla or raspberry sherbet instead of strawberry ice cream for an extra layer of fruity flavor that kids will love.
For a Dairy-Free Option
Substitute traditional ice cream with a dairy-free alternative, like coconut milk or almond milk-based ice cream. This way, everyone can enjoy this drink, even if they’re avoiding dairy. Pair with sparkling water for a lighter, refreshing drink.
For a Citrus Twist
Instead of using berry flavors, you can mix things up by using lemon or lime sorbet paired with sparkling lemonade. The citrus adds a zesty pop, making this variation bright and refreshing for any New Year's Eve celebration.
This time of year, farmers are also making plans. With new technologies like precision agriculture, farmers can track how well their crops grew, how efficient they were with resources, which management practices worked best and what products performed well. Wintertime is a chance to look over data from the previous year and make decisions for the coming season: which seeds to plant, which fertilizers and pesticides to use, maybe even new equipment they might need. Farmers work hard 365 days a year to grow safe and nutritious food and, just like they rest of us, they’re reflecting on the past year and looking forward to the coming one.
Enjoy the New Year
This New Year’s Eve sparkling ice cream drink is the perfect way to ring in the new year. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a fun and tasty treat. It will impress both kids and adults.
The variations make it easy to customize for any crowd, ensuring everyone has something to enjoy. Cheers to new beginnings, sweet moments, and a sparkling new year!
