❤️ 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
💭 Tips for success
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!
