Alcoholic drinks to cart out now for your New Year's Eve party (and CNY!)

Christmas whizzed by, and now we're getting ready for New Year's Eve and Lunar New Year. If you haven't already stocked up for the ensuing festivities, it's time to do so! Items such as sugar-free drinks, sugared drinks, snacks and more are quintessential for gatherings, but as someone who knows how to throw a mean party, alcohol is often the social lubricant I turn to. And here's a pro-tip: it's not about making a strong alcoholic drink, but about having great tasting options that everyone wants to keep going back to.

Of course, you'll need to be a Prime member to enjoy the service, but for a mere S$2.99/month (less than a plate of chicken rice), the rewards are comparatively high.
