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.

By the time the clock strikes midnight and 2025 is here, you might be looking for a pick-me-up whisky cocktail to keep your spirits, and evening celebrations, alive. The Scotch Coffee is a heart-warming winter cocktail that combines the Glenlivet 12 Year Old, coffee and milk to create a whisky drink that is both sweet and soft. Topped off with  nutmeg, it’s a real people pleaser and simply the ultimate New Year’s Eve party whisky cocktail.

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. 2025 is a new year, but sometimes the Old Fashioned way is the right way.

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.

Traditionally a combination of rye whisky, sweet vermouth and Angostura bitters, this whisky maraschino cocktail has held a top spot in the world’s most popular cocktails for more than a hundred years, so it’ll definitely have seen a New Year’s Eve or two! We’ve given it an update by using The Glenlivet’s 12-year single malt which delivers extra fruity flavours and distinctive notes of pineapple.

If bringing the New Year in up in Scotland, no Hogmanay celebration will be complete without drinks that showcase the best of the country. That’s why our Cranachan cocktail uses single malt scotch whisky and fresh Scottish raspberries as an ode to one of Scotland’s most popular puddings. The result is a refreshing highball cocktail that will make sure your 2025 starts off sweet.

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 2024. 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?
