22 Champagne Cocktails For a Crowd

Boozy brunch is a given on your average weekend schedule, with OJ and Champagne definitely on the menu. Although mimosas tend to be the default use for sparkling wine in the morning, there are far more interesting options available. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or ringing in the new year, these Champagne cocktails will instantly spruce up any occasion. Add some simple sophistication to your bartending repertoire and give your next celebratory brunch party a little sparkle with the addition of a few bottles of bubbles.

Before you begin popping bottles, you should know the difference between Champagne and sparkling wine. Here’s a rule to remember: All Champagne is sparkling wine, but not all sparkling wine is Champagne. Bottles of fizz can really only be deemed Champagne if they are made in the Champagne region of France with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes, or a blend of all three. Additionally, cava refers to sparkling wine from Spain, and Prosecco hails from Italy. Impress your guests with your sparkling wine-knowledge and use all three while mixing these stunning and simple sparkling wine cocktails.
