New Year’s Eve parties can sometimes get a little out of hand. With everyone in the festive mood, drinks are being enjoyed all round. As the host, it can be particularly distressing when you think about the potential many types of drinks have to stain your carpets and upholstery. Not to mention the lovely outfits that your guests have chosen for this special evening. So, to avoid any such problems, here are some examples of the best drinks that won’t stain.

Martini

This is a classic party drink and it is completely transparent so you don’t have to worry about stains! Gin and vermouth with an olive or two on the side give your evening that touch of class without the stress of stains. If you or your guests are gin lovers, this cocktail should be at the top of your list of drinks that won’t stain.

Daiquiri

Before you start imagining the various versions of this famous cocktail, just remember that the original recipe includes rum and lime. Use light rum and, if you are look for sweet drinks that won’t stain, add a little sugar to the glass.

Margarita

When you keep this recipe simple, like the Daiquiri, you won’t have to worry about spills leaving stains. Serve Margaritas on the rocks by pouring tequila, triple sec and lime juice over some ice and serve!

Sidecar

This delicious cocktail is much like a Margarita but you will use cognac instead of tequila and lemon instead of lime. There is some risk factor as far as stains are concerned but not nearly as much as red wine.

Finally, you don’t only have to serve cocktails. There are plenty of refreshing drinks that won’t stain and they will keep your guests happy on New Year’s. Some of the best examples include white wine, white champagne, gin, white rum and vodka. Spirits can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or you can mix them up with some clear lemon soda or tonic water.
