101 Champagne Cocktails

By Kim Haasarud and Alexandra Grablewski

“Corks popping, frothy liquid flowing, a cold crispy freshness . . . nothing quite so perfectly reflects the notion of ‘the best in life.’ This is a book for celebrants. It's a book for romantics. It's a book for the entertainer who wants a light, fresh concoction that can bring people together to accent the joys of the day. So break out the bubbly and toast!”

The Ultimate Celebration Libation

Champagne and her sparkling-wine sisters are renowned the world over as the grand dames of celebration. Corks popping, frothy liquid flowing, a cold crispy freshness . . . nothing quite so perfectly reflects the notion of the best in life. Classic champagnes like Dom Pérignon, Veuve Clicquot, and Taittinger, as well as regional sparklers like Italy’s spumante, Spain’s Cava, Alsace’s Crémant, and Napa’s sparkling wine—all are part of the worldwide bounty.
