The angels did sing
With 2013 upon us, we thought we’d break out a new champagne cocktail. But we want to keep the celebration going so we’ve included ways to enjoy bubbly year round.
We’ll kick this off with a drink to toast the New Year.
French ’75
- 1 1/2 ounces gin
- juice from 1/2 lemon
- 1 tsp simple syrup or powdered sugar
- champagne or other sparkling wine
- ice
- cherry/orange slice
Put a handful of ice in a tall glass. Pour in gin, simple syrup and juice and give it a swirl. Top with champagne. Garnish with a cherry and/or orange slice.
January — Straight up Baby
We dream of peaches all winter long
February — Chocolate Champagne Cocktails
I think there may be another photo hiding around here
March — Buck’s Fizz
I’m too classy to be called Buck
April, May, June, July — Mixed Fruits
Yeah baby
August — Bastardized Bellinis
A lot of bubbles
September — Watermelon Mimosas
The bubbles help mix the fruit juice as well
October — Pomosas
Hmm, October sure is green in these parts
November — Fall Mimosas
Katherine thought I was outside raking leaves
December — Prosecco Pear Cocktails
All four are mine
Nice. I do love a good champagne cocktail, and there are several here I’ve never tried!
As I’m not much of a drinker, I don’t make too many of the concoctions you come up with but I always love the presentations and especially those tall trumpet-like glasses.
That Pomosa is such a dramatic looking cocktail and that glass is perfect for it, just like we’ve come to expect here at the Rufus’ Guide.
Champagne cocktail sounds so classy. I love the flutes you’ve pictured.
I am going to bookmark this and use it all year! Thanks for these great campaign cocktail ideas
I think the French ’75 could be my new favorite drink. Or at least my favorite way to drink, err, I mean ring in the new year.
Those are very good ways
Loving it all, but the prosecco pear may be my drink of choice this NYE!
I absolutely adore cocktails made with champagne, and the French 75 is an all time fave. Happy New Year to you two!
I’ll take any way that includes alcohol!
Holy Spirits that Make One Merry – YUM!!!
What a creative post! I love this idea. I wish I had a party to throw just so I could make these gorgeous drinks.
Excellent post! Love them all; especially French 75!
I hope you don’t mind if I reblog your link on my reblog page?
Go for it!
*clink*
I’ve been on such a Champagne kick lately from straight up to mixed drinks. This is perfect! I still make your pomosa!
And I just love our stemware.
Love them all. Bubbly is a celebration in itself i think! c
