For some, you simply cannot beat a scotch on the rocks. The Glenlivet’s 12 Year Old single malt carries itself, served and accompanied by ice, or ‘the rocks’ to your own taste. The traditionalist’s choice; whisky on the rocks is a pure way to see out the old and welcome the new. For the more informal and relaxed occasion, the Glenlivet’s 12 Year Old on the rocks is to be enjoyed slowly, relishing each sip.

Bubbles and balance. The Glenlivet Royale is an elegant whisky cocktail, perfect for the more low-key New Year’s Eve party with friends and family. Sure to impress, this whisky royale brings the smooth flavour of the Glenlivet 12 Year Old and meets the crispness of champagne. Whisky and bubbles? It feels like a match made for New Year’s celebrations.

We love this one because it’s adaptable and suits every type of whisky drinker, from beginners to those with a little more expertise. The Morning Glory Fizz is a fruity fizzy cocktail, giving you the opportunity to reflect on those beautiful summer months of 2022. Like those who enjoy a winter barbecue, this is for the whisky drinkers who just cannot let go of summer. What better way to kick off early morning hours of a New Year?

It’s easy-going, it’s timeless and it’s the whisky cocktail of choice for parties. That’s why we’d suggest serving The Glenlivet Whisky Sour at your end-of-2022 shindig; a favourite among seasoned whisky drinkers and an obvious entree whisky cocktail for those not yet acquainted with the world of scotch. The Glenlivet 12 Year Old works beautifully with lemon juice and syrup to create a citrusy yet sweet cocktail, steeped in history and popular around the globe.

By the time the clock strikes midnight and 2023 is here, you might be looking for a pick-me-up whisky cocktail to keep your spirits, and evening celebrations, alive. The Spiced Spey Coffee is a heart-warming winter cocktail that combines the Glenlivet 12 Year Old, coffee and chocolate to create a whisky drink that is both sweet and soft. Topped off with unsweetened cream, it’s a real people pleaser and simply the ultimate New Year’s Eve party whisky cocktail.

‘Should Auld Alliance be forgot, and never brought to mind…’. A cocktail that fits the New Year’s song to be sung at midnight, what could go wrong? If you’re spending this year’s celebration at home with a cosy dinner planned with close company, we’d recommend a warming cocktail like the Auld Alliance to accompany your evening. Combining our 18 Year Old with the sweetness and length of French wine creates something with an instant impact and punch, fitting for the last night of the year.

The rich and creamy Chocolate Orange Old Fashioned is a whisky cocktail that just feels right to sip on at this time of year, with the citrus of the orange and the sweetness of the chocolate. Two classic Christmas ingredients come together to make a traditionally festive cocktail which we believe is a must-try, and should be enjoyed to wrap up those couple of weeks of indulgence in style. 2023 is a new year, but sometimes the Old Fashioned way is the right way.

Still got a bottle of Malbec or Cabernet Sauvignon leftover from your Christmas celebrations? Well, it’s time to mix things up with the Maple-Red Wine Sour, a tangy but delicious mixture of red wine with The Glenlivet 12 Year Old, plus unmissable sweet tones from the maple syrup, adding a layer of sweetness to an otherwise smooth flavour. A New Year is for trying something different, and this unique whisky drink is absolutely certain to polish the year off in style.

The ultimate party whisky drink. It may be traditionally suited to summer but what better way to celebrate than with a Carnival inspired cocktail? Carnivale is a laid back, cool drink for a laid back, cool occasion. The coconut water and lime base feels soft and lighter than many of our other suggestions, but that’s just what some people need after a celebration-heavy period. Pour yours party style in a pitcher or punch bowl for every guest.

Sometimes, after an evening celebrating 2022 and everything that has been over the past 365 days, all you want is a whisky cocktail to help you wind down and relax. Start the new year the right way – as the fireworks burst into colour around you and the night begins for many, sink back into your chair and let the Whisky Hot Chocolate work its calming magic. Chocolate and whisky. We can’t think of any more fitting ways to round off a successful 2022 than these two.
