Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.88 / 5
The Champagne Daisy is a delightful and refreshing champagne-based cocktail that originated in the late 19th century. This classic drink is a variation of the traditional Daisy cocktail, which typically calls for gin or whisky as its base spirit. In the Champagne Daisy, brandy takes the place of the base spirit, giving it a slightly warmer and richer flavor profile. The combination of brandy, lemon juice and grenadine creates a perfect balance of sweet and tart, while a splash of champagne adds a subtle effervescence to the mix. This cocktail is perfect for celebratory occasions and is often served at elegant events. Its bright and bubbly character makes it a popular choice for brunch gatherings and summer soirées. Sipping on a Champagne Daisy evokes a sense of luxury and sophistication, making it a favorite among cocktail enthusiasts.
