Ingredients
Scale
For the Cocktail
- 1 Bottle Champagne or sparkling wine (about 750ml)
- 1/4 cup Blue Curacao
- 2 cups Lemonade
For the Glass Rim
- 1/3 cup sweetened coconut flakes
- Honey (enough to coat glass rims)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass Rims: Dip the rim of each Champagne glass into honey to coat it evenly. Then dip the honey-coated rim into the sweetened shredded coconut flakes to create a frosty, coconut-covered edge. Set the glasses aside to let the rim dry and set.
- Add Blue Curacao: Pour the blue Curacao evenly into the prepared glasses, splitting the 1/4 cup among all glasses (approximately 1 tablespoon per glass if serving 6).
- Pour Lemonade: Add the lemonade slowly to each glass, filling them until they are about half full. This helps balance the flavors and creates a light, refreshing base.
- Top with Champagne: Carefully top off each glass with Champagne or sparkling wine, pouring gently to retain the bubbles and effervescence. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh fizz and vibrant colors.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the Champagne with club soda or sparkling water, and use Blue Curacao syrup without alcohol.
- You can use any sparkling wine you prefer. Cava is recommended for a lighter and more budget-friendly option.
- Ensure coconut flakes are well adhered to honey for a neat rim presentation.
- Serve chilled glasses for the best refreshing experience.
