It doesn’t have to be served plainly– serve cold at 48°F the most. Be creative and entertain your guests with champagne cocktail recipes! Don’t know how?

Champagne cocktails are always associated with New Year’s Eve celebrations! Sparkles and bubbles! If you want to get more festive with your plain champagne, get fancy and mix up one of these sparkling champagne cocktail recipes that are sure to be crowd pleasers.
Let’s face it, New Year’s Eve is just not complete without champagne and clinking glasses. Champagne has always been on my New Year’s Eve menu, but to make it a bit fancier, I like to mix it up with some sparkling spirit, too! Plain bubbly is perfectly fine, but if you’re looking to spice up the contents of your flutes, I’ve got three delectable “kicked up” alternatives! Great for impressing friends or sharing over an intimate dinner for two.
