Need to know what champagne to buy? I am not a champagne connoisseur. I’ve tried expensive champagnes like Dom Pérignon, Jouet, and Veuve Clicquot. But if I’m mixing champagne, I tend to stay under $15. Sweet champagnes are my preference, but until recently, I didn’t know that Brut meant unsweet and Extra Dry sweet. As you can see from the photo, I settled on Korbel Extra Dry.

You can only have a champagne cocktail with champagne flutes. Well, you can, but it’s just different. If you don’t have any champagne flutes, try these, they are simple yet elegant.

Mixing a great cocktail requires a great shaker. I have at least a dozen shakers, but this one here is my favorite. The shaker doesn’t leak, and the cap will measure from 1/2 to 1.5 ounces. And it is dishwasher safe! You can’t go wrong with this stainless steel cocktail shaker.

How to make the Champagne Sunset

I use fresh lemon juice, but you can use lemon juice from a bottle in a pinch. If you need an excellent citrus squeezer, try this one.

Pour the tangerine, brandy, and lemon juice into a shaker filled with ice. Shake for 5 seconds, then pour the strained ingredients into a champagne flute. Top it off with Champagne.
