Champagne Cup Instructions
The Champagne Cup is a refreshing and elegant cocktail that is perfect for special occasions or brunches. It is made with champagne, fresh fruits, and a touch of sweetness. This cocktail is known for its light and bubbly taste, making it a favorite among cocktail enthusiasts.
To make a Champagne Cup, you will need a bottle of your favorite champagne, such as a brut or extra brut variety. You will also need fresh fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, or orange slices. You can use any combination of fruits that you prefer. Additionally, you will need a sweetener such as simple syrup or flavored liqueur, depending on your taste preferences.
To prepare the cocktail, start by washing and cutting the fruits into small pieces. Place the fruits in a mixing bowl and add a tablespoon of sweetener. Stir gently to coat the fruits with the sweetener. Let the fruits soak for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Once the fruits are ready, take a champagne flute or a wine glass and place a few pieces of the soaked fruits at the bottom. Pour the champagne over the fruits, filling the glass about halfway. Stir gently to mix the fruits with the champagne.
If desired, you can garnish the cocktail with a fruit slice or a sprig of mint. This adds an extra touch of freshness and visual appeal to the Champagne Cup. Serve the cocktail immediately to enjoy its effervescent flavors.
