❤️ Why you'll love this recipe

Let's start with the unique, dark blue color! It's definitely an eye catching shade of frosty blue!

This champagne cocktail is similar to a French 75 but easily made with vodka instead of gin. No need for a lot of fancy mixing and shaking!

🧾 Ingredients

You’ll need:

  • Vodka
  • Blue Curacao
  • Lemon Juice
  • Champagne or Sparkling Moscato
  • Maraschino Cherries
  • Silver Sugar Crystals

💭 Things to know

As always, use the best ingredients you can. Cheap vodka will make this taste like... cheap vodka.

  • Serve it very cold.
  • Make sure the glasses are ice cold.
  • Keep the vodka in the freezer.
  • Use champagne for a drier (less sweet) drink and sparkling moscato for a sweeter drink.
  • Use a shaker filled with ice to chill the cocktail mixture.

Garnish

I like to serve this sparkling drink in a glass flute – it helps maintain the bubbles, it's traditional for a French 75 type drink, and...

Ok… it just looks pretty. I do it because it looks pretty.

I use a maraschino cherry in the bottom of the glass as a garnish but you could use –

  • Strip of lemon peel
  • Lemon wheel
  • Sugared Grapes
  • Sugared rim (silver, blue, gold, or white is best)

New Year’s Eve celebrations call for plenty of sparkles and color. Call it a Midnight Kiss or a Vodka French 75… it doesn’t matter. It’s a beautiful, festive vodka & champagne cocktail no matter what name you give it!
