Raise your glass to New Year party ideas!

The New Year is just around the corner, and it’s time to plan a party that sparkles as much as the midnight fireworks! Whether you’re hosting an elegant soirée, a lively gathering, or an intimate get together, the right glassware and barware can elevate your event to unforgettable heights.

At Leekes, we offer a stunning range of glassware and bar essentials to help you celebrate in style.

Here are some New Year party ideas to inspire you and ensure your celebration is one to remember.

1. Glamorous glassware

The drinks you serve are just as important as how you serve them. Impress your guests with glassware that not only complements your drinks but also adds a touch of elegance to your party.

Champagne flutes: No New Year party is complete without a champagne toast. Choose from Leekes’ selection of sleek, modern flutes or vintage-inspired designs to add flair to your celebration.
Cocktail glasses: From martini glasses to highballs, stock your bar with versatile glassware to cater to every guest’s favorite drink.
Whiskey tumblers: For those who prefer spirits on the rocks, our classic tumblers are a must-have.

2. Set up a DIY cocktail bar

Why not let your guests get creative by setting up a DIY cocktail station? Provide a selection of mixers, spirits, and garnishes alongside your Leekes glassware and bar tools.

Pro tip: Add recipe cards for popular cocktails to guide your guests through the process.

The essentials: Stock your bar with Hensol Castle Distillery vodka, gin and rum plus mixers like tonic, soda, and juices.

Garnishes: Arrange slices of citrus fruits, fresh herbs, and edible flowers for an Instagram-worthy display.

3. Add a touch of glamour

A New Year party is the perfect time to go all out with your décor, and your bar setup is no exception.

Gold and silver accents: Incorporate metallic tones into your glassware and barware for a luxe feel. Leekes’ collection includes gold accented glasses which are ideal for this.
Mood lighting: Use candles or string lights to create a festive atmosphere.

4. Signature drink ideas

Make your party memorable with a signature cocktail that reflects your style and adds a festive touch. Here are some ideas:

Midnight sparkle: A champagne cocktail with a splash of elderflower liqueur and a sprinkle of edible glitter.
New Year mule: A twist on the Moscow Mule, served in Leekes’ sleek highball glassware
Berry bliss: A mix of gin, cranberry juice, and fresh berries, served in crystal-clear highball glasses.
