Champagne is one of those beverages that's delicious anytime of day, and this roundup of cocktails will show you how to sip on it morning, noon, and night! You can pop open a bottle for a holiday brunch and make a mimosa recipe or peach bellini. Come happy hour, you may be craving a glass of white sangria or champagne-spiked Moscow mule. By nightfall, a stronger libation may be in order and don't you worry: There's plenty of those cocktails here, too! Sip a cranberry sparkler made with bourbon or a seasonal twist on a classic French 75.
But before you go choosing your next drink, you first need to hunt for the best bottle of champagne, sparkling wine, or prosecco to make your beverage as delicious as possible. Then all that's left to do is pick a few party appetizers (or champagne cupcakes for something sweet) to pair with the cocktail. Cheers!
