Welcome to the Wine and Champagne Cocktail Recipes GuideHere you will find the world’s most popular and easy to make wine and champagne cocktail recipes.
There are many champagne cocktail recipes, but you might as well use sparkling wine in stead. “Champagne” of course refers to sparkling wine made only in the Champagne region of France. However, there are many sparkling wine varieties available on the market. We recommend that you go for a dry version (as opposed to a sweet one) to mix into your cocktails.
Look out for some cocktails made with sherry, like the Bamboo Cocktail and Xeres Cocktail.
Check out our Cocktail Mixing Guide (opens in a new window) for an explanation of the terms used to follow the wine and champagne cocktail recipes on this page. We refer to “champagne” throughout, meaning it to be either champagne or sparkling wine. In all of these cocktails, experiment with substituting the champagne with wine and give it some fizz by adding soda water.
You will notice that champagne cocktails are often made in a champagne flute. Click here
