Notes
Here are a few tips I've found helpful:
Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter drink, opt for demi-sec champagne or add a splash of simple syrup.
Alternatives: Sparkling water can replace champagne for a non-alcoholic version while still offering a fizzy experience.
Serving tips: This cocktail is best served immediately to keep the sparkle fresh.
These tips ensure your drink comes out perfect every time. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments! 🍸💬
