Notes

My Top Tips
♡ Don't use your best champagne! Use a less expensive champagne or substitute a dry sparkling wine.
♡ Don't skip the sugar cube. This is what makes a lovely stream of bubbles flow up through the cocktail.
♡ Pout the bubbly sl-ow-ly. You don't want the glass to overflow!
How to Adjust the Flavor
Each brand and type of champagne and sparkling wines is unique and you may wish to adjust the flavor of this cocktail depending on the wine you are using. You can easily adjust the flavor of this cocktail to make it more or less sweet with these options.
Less Sweet - To make this champagne cocktail less sweet, add more bitters to the sugar cube and/or add less maraschino cherry juice.
More Sweet - Use more maraschino cherry juice to make it more sweet. Do not omit the bitters, as they add depth to the flavor of this cocktail.
Mocktail Options
Since the only alcohol in this cocktail is the sparkling wine, you can swap it out with any of the following for a delicious, bubbly mocktail:
Lemon-Lime Soda. Good choices are Sprite, 7-Up, and Starry.
Ginger-Ale.
Flavored Selzer. Lime or orange will go very well with the cherry flavor.
