I’ve always been a fan of sour cocktails. from our Grapefruit Paloma Cocktail for us Unicorn Gin Cocktail And now, this canned champagne cocktail! The combination of citrus and alcohol is so good that it can’t be resisted. It’s basically our take on the 1920s Sidecar Cocktail, but we’re using canned Champagne because it’s so much better (and more fun!) than popping the entire bottle.
making it? Oh girrrl, it’s as easy as pouring some ingredients into a glass and stirring. Do you think you can handle it?
- Brandy: Choose your favorite type of brandy! To keep things traditional, we used cognac.
- Cointreau: This orange-flavored liqueur adds a touch of sweetness to balance the tartness of the lemon juice.
- simple syrup: A simple syrup is made by mixing equal amounts of sugar and water and boiling it until the sugar dissolves. It is an essential ingredient in many classic cocktails, including this one.
- Fresh Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice is always best in cocktails. Its spicy taste adds freshness to the drink.
- Champagne: Headliner! Choose any type of Champagne you like, whether it’s brut, extra dry, or even pink.
If you don’t have Cointreau, you can substitute it with triple sec. Just know that triple sec has a lower alcohol content and is generally sweeter than Cointreau.
Fun things to serve
We love serving this canned champagne cocktail with a lemon twist and frozen cranberries for a festive touch. You can also fill the glass with sugar or top it with a sprig of fresh rosemary. Honestly, it’s hard to go wrong with this drink, so get creative and have fun with how you decorate it!
here’s a tip!
If you’re making canned cocktails, pour or drink 2-4 ounces. Combine the Champagne and then add the brandy, Cointreau, simple syrup and lemon juice to the can. Shake gently and top with ice if necessary.
This canned Champagne cocktail recipe can be made in a “fancy” coupe glass or decanted and served in a can. The coupe glass is perfect for a special occasion or fancy get-together, while the can option is great for a casual gathering with friends. you do you!
This cocktail is best served immediately, which is why we like to use canned Champagne rather than pouring out the entire bottle. We recommend only bursting as many cans as you need. to encourage!
