Tips

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 a champagne cocktail, I tend to stay under $15 a bottle. Sweet champagnes are my preference, but until recently, I didn’t know Brut meant unsweet and Extra Dry sweet. As you can see from the photo, I settled on Korbel Extra Dry.

Prosecco makes an excellent substitution for champagne in cocktails.

For a sweeter cocktail use 1/2 ounce of pineapple juice.

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.

Need a great Cocktail Shaker but don’t know which one to buy? Look no further

Martini or cocktail, a good shake makes all the difference in the world so buying a cocktail shaker can seriously step up your at-home drink game. Think about it: no more settling for boring mixed drinks when you can whip up bar-quality cocktails in your kitchen. It’s not just about the fancy presentation (although that’s a fun bonus) but also about how it makes mixing drinks easier and more fun. 

I have at least a dozen shakers, but one favorite. The shaker doesn’t leak; you won’t have to hit the shaker against the sink to get the top off, and the cap will measure from 1/2 to 1.5 ounces with clearly marked labels. Measure the perfect amount every time. And it is dishwasher safe!

Plus, once you get the hang of shaking, you’ll feel like a total pro, impressing your friends and yourself with your newfound bartending skills. So why not add a little shake, shake, shake to your life and upgrade your happy hour?

How to Make a Pineapple Upside Down Champagne

Start by chilling your champagne thoroughly. A well-chilled base will enhance the overall experience of your cocktail.

Pour the pineapple and cranberry juices into a chilled champagne flute.

Top it off with no more than 5 ounces of champagne and stir gently.

Add a cherry for garnish.

Note

It would be best if you had champagne flutes that are 8 ounces or less. The larger the champagne flute, the less the recipe will fill your glass. More champagne also changes the taste of the cocktail.

The Pineapple Upside Down Champagne Cocktail is a delightful marriage of sophistication and tropical flair. This drink is perfect for any celebration and adds a playful twist to the classic champagne experience. With its visually appealing presentation and refreshing taste, this cocktail will indeed become a favorite at your next gathering.

So, raise your glass and toast to the joy of fizzy fusion. This truly unforgettable champagne cocktail tastes like a fruit punch! Cheers!
