Champagne cocktails are tasty, fizzy and easy to love, and they transform leftover or cheap bubbly into something wonderful. These are great for New Years or anytime you’re wanting champagne with a little more kick.
If you’re planning a party around these cocktails, you might need some nibbles. Of course there’s the classic caviar pairing, but you should also try goat cheese or a good wheel of manchego.
You could also make Smoked Salmon Crostini, which is savory with dill and lemon. Or how about Mushroom & Gruyere Bruschetta which is warm and cheesy, with mushrooms, garlic, and thyme?
If you need a new set of champagne flutes, take a look at all these gorgeous ones on Amazon So many options to choose from.
If you don’t have flutes, you can serve these in wine glasses. Or really any glasses that look nice enough for the occasion.
Champagne Cocktail Recipes
Most of these are best with a nice dry brut or prosecco. You can also use sparkling wine or non-alcoholic sparkling grape juice for a non-alcoholic option. Sparkling apple juice is another possibility, but it will be too sweet for some drinks.
Poinsettia
This delicious drink is low on alcohol, which makes it great for entertaining. It features cranberry juice and Cointreau, so it's delicious. It's also easy to make in a non-alcoholic version (which is just as tasty) for non-drinkers.
Caribou Martini
Coffee-flavored vodka blends roasted, bitter notes with the light fruity flavors coming from whichever bottle of champagne you choose .
Kir Royale Classic Drink
The Kir Royale blends delicious creme de cassis with the bottle of your choice. Creme de cassis has a flavor somewhere between blackcurrant and raisin. It's intense and deep and sweet, and a nice dry brut or prosecco contrasts nicely with it. It's so easy to make - you just pour the ingredients into your champagne flutes.
Mimosa Drink Recipe
The Mimosa is a classic brunch cocktail, but it's also wonderful for celebrations and parties. Most people know it includes fresh squeezed orange juice, but it also has a little bit of orange liqueur which adds to the flavor.
