Cocktails on me...

I used to be a beer drinker back when I was a LOT younger, and then gradually moved to wine.  Champagne has ALWAYS been a fave of mine no matter, and I thought I would highlight my fave beverage today. 

Here are a few Champagne recipes that you (and me…) might try, with the first one being one of my all time faves…. 

Mimosa
Fill champagne flute 2/3 full (or 1/3, for Anglophiles) of fresh-squeezed orange juice and top up with brut champagne.

Champagne Cocktail
Place a sugar cube* in a chilled champagne flute, lash it with 2 or 3 dashes of bitters (Angostura or Peychaud's), fill the glass with brut champagne or other, cheaper, bubbly (peasant!), and squeeze a lemon twist on top.


BaRbOtAge
Pour cognac (or another brandy) and Grand Marnier into a champagne flute, top up with brut champagne or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
