A Cocktail for Ringing in the New Year

A

When ringing in the new year, the first sip is almost as important as the first kiss. Elevate your typical toast with this sweet champagne cocktail from Dee Lincoln's Tasting Room & Bubble Bar inside Cowboys Stadium (214-979-9463, www.deelincolns.com), where state-of-the-art machines dispense wine and champagne by the ounce at perfect temperatures. Aptly named Bubble Bubble, the bevvy is the be-seen bar's signature cocktail. With lemon juice and pear-flavored vodka, it's one smooth sparkler that gets us ready to pucker up. Happy New Year!
