Champagne Cocktails

Timeless. Effervescent. Joyous. The champagne cocktail is one of the original cocktails. Without a doubt, there is a champagne cocktail that is perfect for any occasion, and with this colorful, bubbly book, you're sure to find one that's ideal for your occasion. Mixologist extraordinaire A.J. Rathbun supplies 50 recipes that go far beyond French Champagne (though it's certainly well represented): Italian Prosecco and Asti, Spanish Cava, German Sekt, and the many varieties of American sparklers. Ros and red sparkling wines are not forgotten either, with Italian Brachetto and Lambrusco, as well as sparkling Shiraz. While honoring classics such as the Bellini or Champagne Cocktail, Rathbun also covers fruity cocktails, fizzily sophisticated international mixtures, new and esoteric concoctions, as well as crowd-pleasing punches perfect for your next party. Whether your occasion is a wedding, a birthday, a gathering of friends, an anniversary, or a clear moonlit night with one special person, celebrate in style with these spectacular sparklers.
