“Too much of anything is bad, but too much Champagne is just right.” – F.Scott Fitzgerald
The holiday season is upon us so today I am going to share a quick and easy recipe for a champagne cocktail. There is something memorable about being a guest who is greeted with a glass of champagne, or a champagne cocktail upon arrival to a party. It has a way of setting the tone for the light hearted buzzy fun that awaits.
Champagne Cocktail
Place a sugar cube* in a chilled champagne flute, splash it with 2 or 3 dashes of bitters (Angostura or Peychaud’s), fill the glass with brut champagne, and squeeze a lemon twist on top. -from Esquire Magazine
“Champagne: In victory, I deserve it. In defeat, I need it.” -Winston Churchill
Oooh is is Champagne season! Love how you show the coupe glasses too, they are making a comeback. Kicking myself for throwing out my grandmother’s glasses, thinking those are not going to come back around.
