When making champagne cocktails, use a good quality dry champagne unless the recipe specifically calls for something sweeter.

Save the high-end bubbly for your midnight toast, and use less expensive champagne for your cocktails.

Most varieties of sweet liqueur will mix well with champagne, so feel free to experiment a bit. Use a small amount of liqueur to start with.

Treat your bridal party to a pre or post nuptials gift box that contains the delicious champagne cocktails kit so they can make their own!

About half an ounce for every four ounces of champagne will ensure that the heaviness of the liqueur won't overwhelm the delicate flavours of the champagne. You can add more liqueur to taste if need be.

You can make your cocktails look even better by simply dipping the very tip of the glass in egg white and then immediately dipping the tip of the glass in sugar. The sugar will stick and dry to the top of the glass, creating a frosted effect.
