Remember, you don’t need an expensive bottle of champagne if you’re mixing it into a champagne punch, Bellini, or other fun drink. The flavor of the sparkling wine is likely tempered by juice, liqueur, and other ingredients in your champagne cocktail. And while New Year’s Eve may be the biggest champagne holiday of the year, there’s nothing stopping you from enjoying one of these cocktails any time you’re feeling festive. Champagne cocktails make a great addition to Christmas and Hanukkah, or start off New Year’s Day brunch with a nice Bellini or citrusy spritz.
