Welcome the brand new year with a Midnight Sparkler!
In the Philippines, locals believe that round fruits for New Year symbolize coins or money and are displayed at the New Year feast as a sign of wealth and abundance for the household. This bubbly cocktail uses the round fruit, Clementine oranges, known locally as kiat kiat to welcome the year with good luck, fortune, and prosperity.
This spritz drink is a great way to toast to new beginnings! The cocktail has notes of tropical flavors mixed with sweet citrus and just a touch of bitterness.
