Three easy to make Champagne Cocktails are December 25th Drinks of the Day!!

Merry Christmas! Hope everyone today, no matter what holiday you celebrate, are enjoying the holidays with the ones you love. So you don’t have to come up with something difficult behind your home bar, on this festive day, I thought I would give you a few champagne drinks that tend to always be a hit at a home party. These three cocktails will give your guests options, depending what their tastes and you will have all the time you want to talk football, help with the dishes, or maybe just sit and watch everyone open gifts. Enjoy your day!

Mimosa

1 1/2 oz. Orange Juice

Champagne

Bellini

1 1/2 oz. Peach Nectar

Champagne

Kir Royale

1 1/2 oz. Creme de Cassis

Champagne

 

Method: On either one of the three choices, it’s always a cleaner option to pour in the champagne first, filling it 2/3 of the way, then finishing it off with the flavor of choice, then stir it a few times with a stir stick. In regards to a garnish, I suggest not having one. It tends to get in the way when carrying around and socializing at the party.
