Champagne Cocktails
Light, effervescent cocktails topped with bubbles.
Champagne and sparkling wine bring effervescence, bright acidity, and a dry fruitiness to cocktails — and even a small pour transforms an otherwise straightforward drink into something more festive. Used as a topper (as in the French 75) or as the primary ingredient in a Bellini or Kir Royale, sparkling wine lightens the overall alcohol weight while adding a lively, celebratory texture. These are drinks that need little embellishment to feel special.
