Frequently Asked Questions
What is a champagne cocktail?
A champagne cocktail is a type of mixed drink made with champagne or sparkling wine. Typically, it involves adding a sugar cube soaked in bitters to the champagne flute, though variations often include liqueurs, juices, or cordials.
Is zero-proof champagne a good substitute if I want a non-alcoholic version of this cocktail?
Yes, zero-proof champagne (non-alcoholic sparkling wine) is an excellent choice for a sophisticated non-alcoholic option. While you can substitute the champagne with chilled sparkling grape juice or a non-alcoholic sparkling cider, using a zero-proof champagne will help retain a more complex and authentic flavor profile for the celebratory toast.
Can I make a large batch of the rose cordial drink?
Yes, you can! For a large party, pre-soak a bowl of sugar cubes in the rose cordial and have them ready to drop into each flute as you pour the bubbly. This speeds up the process and ensures everyone gets their drink quickly.
