Champagne you are supposed to drink it on New Years Eve, have any idea why?
I don’t know, and frankly I don’t really like it so here are two cool mixed drink recipes using champagne.
Tropical Champagne Sangria
Ingredients1 semi-ripe mango, peeled and sliced
1/2 pineapple, peeled and sliced
1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
3 limes, sliced
2 lemons, sliced
1 orange, sliced
1 cup red seedless grapes, cut in 1/2
1/2 cup cointreau
1 bottle champagne
Procedure
Let the fruit soak in the Cointreau for at least 30 minutes, then pour over the chilled champagne and serve not to children.
French 75
Ingredients4-6 ice cubes, cracked
2 ounces of brandy
1 ounce of fresh lemon juice
Chilled champagne
Sugar syrup (4 tablespoons water and 4 tablespoons sugar you will have extra for later drinks will last 2 weeks in fridge)
Procedure
Cook sugar and water to dissolve sugar and set aside. Place the cracked ice in a cocktail shaker. Pour in the brandy, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar syrup. Shake till foam forms. Strain into a chilled highball glass and top off with chilled champagne. Garnish with a lemon twist or a strand of diamonds.
