New Year’s Cocktails with Billi

As the clock ticks closer to the New Year, it’s time to raise your glasses high with some refreshing, innovative cocktails. But this year, let’s twist the tradition a bit, instead of the usual champagne toasts, why not create something unique with Billi’s sparkling water systems? Billi, an Australian leader in instant filtered water systems, brings you an eco-friendly and stylish way to celebrate. Here are some New Year’s Eve cocktails that you can easily whip up using Billi’s sparkling water, perfect for those looking for New Year’s Eve gin cocktails or alternatives to champagne-based drinks.

Sparkling French 75 with a Billi Twist

The French 75 is a classic cocktail usually made with gin and champagne and is traditionally close to a whopping 3 standard drinks. But with Billi’s Instant Sparkling Water systems, you can give this cocktail an Australian twist while lowering the ABV a bit. Our dispensers allow you to add just the right amount of fizz to your drink, making it a delightful alternative to champagne.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Gin
• 1 oz Lemon juice
• 1/2 oz Simple syrup
• Billi’s sparkling water
• Lemon twist, for garnish

Method:

1. Combine gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a shaker with ice.
2. Shake well and strain into a chilled glass.
3. Top up with Billi’s sparkling water and garnish with a lemon twist.

Billi’s New Year’s Eve Spritz

A spritz is always a crowd-pleaser and making it with Billi’s sparkling water adds an extra layer of freshness. These can also be deceptively strong and with home measures getting a little loose, if you’re planning to have more than one drink this New Year’s we recommend subbing the sparkling wine for sparkling water.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 oz Gin
• 3 oz of Billi sparkling water for a less-alcoholic version
• 1 oz Aperol
• Orange slice, for garnish

Method:

1. Fill a wine glass with ice.
2. Add gin and Aperol.
3. Top with Billi’s sparkling water.
4. Garnish with an orange slice.

Americano with a Sparkling Twist

For a cocktail with a bit of history, the Americano is your go-to. It’s usually made with Campari, sweet vermouth, and club soda so using Billi’s instant sparkling water is a no-brainer.

Ingredients:

• 1 oz Campari
• 1 oz Sweet vermouth
• Billi’s sparkling water
• Orange slice or twist, for garnish

Method:

1. Fill a highball glass with ice.
2. Add Campari and sweet vermouth.
