Champagne Cocktails

Champagne Cocktail Banner Narrow Landscape

August 2, 2018

It is believed that champagne cocktails made their first appearance in 1861 when Prince Albert passed away and England went into mourning. A bartender in London’s Brooks Club decided that champagne should mourn too, and paired it with Guinness stout to make what is known today as a black velvet. Nowadays there are countless bubbly variations that can be had before dinner or after, with dessert.

The new trend in champagne cocktails—champagne on ice—was inspired by “La Piscine,” a popular St. Tropez practice of adding ice cubes to champagne to keep it cool. Moët & Chandon were pioneers in this trend with their release of Ice Imperial, a champagne specifically designed to be consumed over ice. Fruit, mint or ginger can be thrown in too for a well-rounded cocktail. Veuve Clicquot also came out with Rich, a sweet champagne especially created for cocktails, which allows for easy experimentation with ingredients such as grapefruit, celery or tea. A playful invitation to enjoy champagne differently this summer.
