champagne cocktails

Sparkling wine mixers

Champagne cocktails are mixed drinks that use champagne or sparkling wine as a primary ingredient.

The classic version combines champagne with a sugar cube soaked in Angostura bitters and a twist of lemon.

More broadly, the term covers any cocktail featuring sparkling wine: mimosas, bellinis, French 75s.

They're associated with celebration and brunch.
