Champagne Daisy sits in the bright, celebratory corner of the Daisy family of cocktails: spirit-forward sours sweetened with a touch of syrup and lifted with bubbles. You’ll recognise the template in its balance of base spirit, citrus, and a hint of red sweetness, then finished in a Champagne glass for a more festive, aperitif-like feel. Rather than leaning on a single famous origin story, this drink reads as a simple, elegant variation that borrows the Daisy’s classic structure and dresses it up with sparkling wine.

On the palate, brandy brings a rounded, warming backbone that keeps the drink from feeling too sharp. Lemon juice drives the profile with clean, direct tartness, while grenadine softens the edges with a measured sweetness and a gentle fruity note. A dash of Champagne or prosecco adds a crisp, effervescent lift that lightens the brandy and makes the citrus feel brighter and more refreshing.

You’ll find it works best when you want something zesty but still a little plush—ideal as a pre-dinner sparkler or a toast that isn’t purely dry. It suits anyone who enjoys a sour-style drink but wants the finish to feel airy and celebratory rather than heavy.

Cocktail Colin says:

4/5

Brandy leads with warm fruit and oak, sharpened by bright lemon juice, while grenadine adds a rosy pomegranate sweetness that rounds the edges, and a dash of Champagne/prosecco lifts everything with crisp bubbles. The acidity keeps the grenadine from turning cloying and the sparkle lightens the brandy’s weight; it’s ideal for sour lovers who want a celebratory, lightly sweet sip.
