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 cavaΒ 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.

I love champagne and I really love when it’s used in cocktails, they just feel more sophisticated to me. I think I actually have all these ingredients so I might have to celebrate the fact that it’s Sunday with a great cocktail!
I seldom drink, but I’ll have to keep this cocktail recipe in mind for future special occasions. Thank you for sharing!
This sounds delicious! I personally would never use real Champagne for a cocktail because I could never bring myself to change its taste, I drink it as is, BUT I’ll chuck anything in to cava or prosecco to make a tasty cocktail. Great post!
