Sweet Home New Year’s Sparkler

A Champagne-Style Mocktail for Celebrations

When the moment calls for a toast, everyone deserves a glass worth raising. The Sweet Home New Year’s Sparkler is a light, champagne-style mocktail designed for designated drivers, kids who get to stay up late, and anyone who simply prefers not to drink alcohol. Crisp, gently fruity, and beautifully bubbly, it looks right in a flute and feels special enough for midnight toasts, New Year’s Day brunch, and every celebration in between.
