Serpentine

Living up to its name, this green bubbly concoction has hidden secrets. Don’t forget to chill the champagne for at least two hours before mixing.

The Trade Winds

Whether it blows hot or cold, champagne cocktails are a treat for any occasion and this one is as refreshing as it is colorful.

Black Velvet

Don’t ever say that it ruins good champagne; just enjoy a long heady draught of a timeless treasure.

Wild Silk

A wildly fruity cocktail topped with a riot of bubbles and really well-iced champagne.

Bombay Sherry Punch

Bombay Sherry Punch

As unusual mix for a party, ideal to dilute as much as you wish.

Lady Luck

The pear and apple flavors give a deep fruitiness to the final cocktail, so you could equally well use a sparkling white wine as the base.

Pick-Me-Up

Champagne always gives you a lift and this one, with its added ingredients, is the perfect anytime booster.

Royal Julep

As with all juleps, the mint needs crushing or mudding first to help release its flavor into the sugar and water. Simply chopping it won’t produce enough flavors.

Dawn

If you don’t have any champagne available, then look for a good sparkling white wine, or even a sparkling red, to use in this cocktail.

Chicago

Do use a dry champagne, or even a good sparkling wine, for cocktails where you add sweet ingredients and especially if you want to sugar the rim of the glass for extra sparkle.
