Notes
Ingredient Notes
- Use whichever type of sparkling wine you like best. Cava, Champagne or Prosecco are all great options.
Recipe Notes
- To make your cocktail nice and cold, make sure that your sparkling wine is chilled before using it to top off the drink!
- If you have the space, pop your Champagne flutes or coupes into the refrigerator or freezer at least 30 minutes before serving. This will also help keep your drinks nice and cold.
