The best drinks for your New Year's Eve dinner
Do you want to make this New Year's Eve special with tasty and special non-alcoholic drinks that are original and go well with your dishes? World of NIX has put together a list of the best pairings so that you can easily and quickly select the best non-alcoholic drinks for New Year's Eve.
A drink
- Start with a nice festive bubble! Choose the Kolonne Null Cuveé Blanc for this. This is the most beautiful non-alcoholic bubble currently available. It has a nice soft bubble and a good dry aftertaste.
- Would you prefer something “different”. Then make a Spritz. Use the Abstinence Blood Orange Aperitif and combine it with ice and a bubble of ALT in a large wine glass. This gives you a slightly bitter-sweet cocktail.
Starter:
- Salad or fish: Perfect to try a Riesling from Weingut Apel . This wine is wonderfully fresh with a typical Riesling flavor and slightly fruity aftertaste. It combines nicely with the flavors of fish or salad.
- Meat or savory: Go for a cocktail. Try the award-winning Gnista Floral Wormwood mixed with tonic and garnished with an orange slice.
Main dish:
- Meat: Choose the Kolonne Null Cuveé Rouge . According to the NRC, the best non-alcoholic red wine available. The Cuveé Rouge is a full-bodied red wine with tannins made from Syrah and Tempranillo grapes.
- Fish or vegetarian: Go for the Cognato Red . This award-winning South African red wine is beautifully round and has light chocolate and smoke notes that compliment your dish.
Dessert:
- Sweet: Combine your sweet dessert with Lyre's Amaretti . An alcohol-free almond liqueur that gives your Tiramisu an extra boost, for example.
- Cheese: Gnista Barrelled Oak , winner of the Dutch Non Alcoholic Spirit Awards. A completely new taste explosion with smoky oak notes.
After dinner:
- Try the Three Spirit Nightcap aka “dreammaker”. This drink, based on ginger and valerian, gives you a fantastic mouthfeel and a soft, spicy aftertaste. The advantage is that you can sleep wonderfully afterwards.
