Champagne In Paris…& Las Vegas!

Nothing says “Paris” quite like Champagne, and there are many ways to enjoy a little bubbly as you take in the view of the spectacular Bellagio Fountains from Eiffel Tower Restaurant. Simply enjoying a glass of Champagne is always a great choice, but if you want to mix it up a little, we would like to recommend three of our favorite classic Champagne cocktails.

One of the original Champagne cocktails is very simply called,  The Champagne Cocktail.

  • Place one sugar cube in a Champagne flute and add 2-3 drops of Angostura bitters.
  • Top with Champagne or sparkling wine.
  • Garnish with a lemon or orange twist.
  • Sip – Simple and delicious.

Another classic is the French 75, introduced during prohibition, and named for the French Army’s 75mm gun used in both World Wars.

  • Combine two ounces of London dry gin, ¾ ounces fresh lemon juice, and ¾ ounces simple syrup in a Champagne flute.
  • Top with 2 ounces of your favorite bubbly.
  • Garnish with a long spiral lemon twist.

Last but not least is the Kir Royale,named for Felix Kir, a decorated member of the French Resistance during World War II, who later became the mayor of Dijon.

  • Combine 1 ounce of chilled crème de cassis (a sweet, dark red liqueur made from blackcurrants) and 4 ounces of Champagne.
  • If you prefer a little sweeter, add a little more crème de cassis,
