Champagne and sparkling wine are the liquid symbols of celebration, good cheer, and conviviality. But they can also be the star of more complex drinks-the sophisticated backbone that elevates all the ingredients around them. This book contains 75 recipes for Champagne and sparkling wine–based cocktails (both classic and original), as well as recipes for syrups, garnishes, and a few delicious snacks, and tips for using bubbles in mixed drinks. From cover to cover, this book entices readers with the style and glamour synonymous with a flute of bubbles, and offers recipes to make any occasion sparkle.
