Champagne Cocktail
I love nothing better than a classic champagne cocktail. It’s just such a simple, classy drink you can have on any occasion. It’s festive, it’s a way to kick off a weekend, accompany a yummy brunch or toast a celebration! You can see all my cocktail recipes here, for all seasons and occasions.
You of course don’t have to use champagne in a champagne cocktail. To make it a more affordable option, use prosecco, affordable champagne, cava or any other dry sparkler. I for one, do not have a vintage champagne just lying around my home. Prosecco or cava is generally my go to in the sparkling beverage aisle.
You literally just need champagne (or other sparkly choice), a sugar cube and bitters. That’s it! 3 ingredients plus lemon peel for garnish. I wasn’t lying when I said a simple drink to make.

My husband and I love champagne, but we haven’t found a good mixing recipe to try with it. This might be the winner that we are looking for.
This looks so good! Champagne is my very favorite – I pinned this for later! Thanks for the inspo!!
Sometimes the garnish makes the cocktail and in this case that long lemon peel really does it for me!
I can imagine this is a fun beverage to have at a party. I love how the lemon peel looks in the glass.
That sounds really good! I think my husband would really like this, too. I’m going to have to make us some.
