As much as I love brunch we don't make it at home; it's typical scrambled eggs for breakfast daily around here. I decided to try to elevate our egg breakfast at Valentine's Day by making a brunch beverage...The Champagne Cocktail.
A Champagne Cocktail is one of those things that isn't a set recipe. There are dozens of ways to make a Champagne Cocktail, there is just one rule, it must have Champagne.
Step 1: Find the right Champagne. I went with a Cava, much more affordable than champagne, and easy to find. (I personally like a drier Champagne, not a sweet one).
Step 2: Add a splash of juice. I like grapefruit juice because it adds a nice tartness and pucker without the sweetness. But, you can use any juice you like.
Step 3: Add a raw sugar cube to the bottom of the glass. If you like your cocktail sweeter, you can stir it until is dissolves. If you are like me and prefer just a hint of sweetness, you can leave it on the bottom and let it dissolve just slightly.
Step 4: Top with a little more Champagne and a cute garnish.
Cheers!
