Since it is the end of the year and most people stock up on Champagne to celebrate the new year, I decided to share some Champagne cocktails with you to ring in the new year. This is a “2 for” post, I have 2 great recipes you can make using champagne as your base.
Champagne Cocktails
Ingredients
- 1 shot Blood Orange Liqueur
- 1 shot Lemoncello Liqueur
- 1 shot Cherry Liqueur
- Splash of Orange Juice
- Champagne
Instructions
- Add ice and liqueurs into to drink shaker.
- Shake until chilled
- Pour chilled liqueur into a sugared rimmed martini glass
- Top with champagne
- Add garnishments (optional)
First up is a Bloody Mimosa, which has great hints of orange and lemon flavors with a splash of cherry. Mr. DD and I were experimenting with using a few of the flavors in our liquor cabinet.
The next champagne cocktail is a Cherry Mimosa. This tastes like the traditional mimosa with a touch of cherry.
We typically have mimosa for Christmas morning every year and this year we added the shot of cherry liqueur to give it a twist and I have to say I think this might become our new staple on Christmas morning.
My oldest stepson’s birthday is New Year’s Eve so we would opt to stay home and have a birthday party. At midnight we would always toast the new year with a bottle of champagne. We have become accustomed to celebrating the new year at home with movies and the ball dropping. I think it is safer to be home and not out driving in the madness.
