"Nothing suits better than sparkling wine when it comes to any type of celebration and the classic champagne cocktail is a fine alternative to a straight glass of sparkling wine.
Even though I can enjoy a neat cognac I think the amount of cognac in a classic champagne cocktail recipe can be a bit too much in my opinion. In this version I’ve reduced the amount of cognac quite a bit but still let it come through to compliment the sparkling wine without taking over.
The main reason I wanted to make a riff on the classic version was to be able to add some bling bling in the form of edible glitter to serve to my friends on New Year’s Eve. The sugar cube intensifies the sparkling effect and by sprinkling glitter on top of the sugar cube we get a longer lasting effect which makes the presentation classy.
