Hey, Reader!
When it comes to New Year's Eve, the menu is centered around a bottle of bubbly, of course!
Yes, a glass of champagne is always a classic but if you want to try something new, a champagne cocktail is worthy of a midnight toast! It's a fun addition to cocktails, making them bright and bubbly, and takes the classic sparkler to new levels.
If you need some help choosing a bottle, see my tips for buying a bottle before you get started on these recipes:

This is a classic for a reason! Brandy, sugar cubes, bitters and champagne come together in an elegant sparkling cocktail that allows the bubbles to shine. It's a great way to stretch a bottle of champagne a little further.
