Champagne Cocktails

Not a recipe as such, but something I really, really like.

There's nothing I like better than an icy cold glass of champers....well there is, it's a champagne cocktail. The one most of us know is a sugar cube, drizzled with a few drops of Angostura Bitters, then topped with champers...

I like a couple of other versions....sugar cube, bitters, a drizzle of Cointreau and champers...
You don't need much, but that little slurp of luscious, orangey liquor makes the champers really special.


Also nice, if you like a bit more sweetness is the usual base with a slurp of Midori.

Have one for me. Cheers!

  2. I have strong memories of the start of a night that kicked off with those. They are the most delicious drink and the sugar and liqueur hides the effect after three or so ...

  3. Yep, they sure do have a kick KH...but they also give you a nice warm glow, if you have enough of them that is.
