Pink Champagne Cocktail

Just 3 easy ingredients and you are on your way to a delicious celebration beverage! Pink Champagne Cocktail is a little bit sweet, a lot bubbly, and perfect for parties.

Pink Champagne Cocktails

I love to read. And in my time off this last week I have knocked down two novels and started another. I basically feel like I am winning at life.

In one of the books I just finished there is a trivia night fundraiser for the school. All the parents have to dress up as either Elvis Presley or Audrey Hepburn and the PTA is serving these pink champagne cocktails that everyone keeps raving over. So after reading the chapter devoted almost entirely to this drink I decided two things:

1. My kids are going to the wrong schools and 2. I HAVE TO make Pink Champagne Cocktails.

Cocktail Recipe with Pink Champagne

A few of the characters try to identify the ingredients — mint? Vodka? Definitely vodka. And certainly some champagne. They never really specify the pinkness though — was it pink champagne? Some kind of juice? I was kind of left to my own devices on that.

So I went and bought a bunch of things and put them together in different combinations until I had something I liked. Something I really liked. It’s bubbly X 2, very pink, and goes down easy. It’s totally tasty, but is also a little strong which makes it perfect for parties.

I will be making these on New Year’s Eve!!!

But they would also be terrific for a girls night get-together. Or you know, if maybe your school does trivia night fundraisers with awesome costumes.

The first thing you’ll need is some kind of pink champagne. This has gotten really easy to find — my local stores had varieties in all price points, but I actually ended up with a bubbly pink moscato for what I photographed here.

Next you’ll need vodka.

And then!! You’ll need gingerale. That’s the bubbly to the second power. I used a cranberry gingerale because I wanted these EXTRA pink but they will still be delicious with regular old ginger-colored gingerale. I know. I tried it. You’re welcome. The cranberry stuff is usually only available around the holidays so I didn’t want you guys to be wandering around the beverage centers stressing about pink soda.

The book sounds like Big Little Lies??? This is a lovely sounding drink but it is NOT the original, pink champagne cocktail from 1957 "An Affair to Remember." I am old school, so I have provided the classic recipe as follows: 1 sugar cube in the bottom of a well-chilled flute coupe (never a flute) 3-4 drops of Angostura bitters 1 oz brandy 4-5 oz. chilled pink brut champagne a garnish of lemon peel or orange Allow champagne to melt sugarcube and drink. For extra "fest" and visual pow factor, rim the coupe in extra-fine citrus sugar before serving. I am serving these at my wedding reception in October and cannot wait!

A really fun twist on this cocktail is: PINK CHAMPAGNE CLOUD Vanilla vodka Pink Moscato or Champagne Strawberry Soda Strawberry/Vanilla Cotton Candy Long skewer or pick •• All items must be ice cold to start. Pour in wet ingredients to taste. Take a puff of cotton candy and place in middle of skewer. Place skewer on top of glass to keep candy from getting wet. It is a decadent looking and tasting cocktail!
