im having a friend round on saturday night, will be the first time she's had a night out since her baby was born 3 months ago, so we're having a drink and hubby is playing chaufer lol. was wondering if anyone knew any nice coctails - not the premade ones though - we could have to make it a festive occasion lol. quite fancy the idea of a simple champagne cocktail. she's a malibu and lemonade drinker, and im a gin and soda / v.a.t drinker, but i fancy something a wee bit different ...

champagne/cava/fizzy wine with either strawberry or rasberry liqueur and some fresh/frozen of same fruit jst on the top of the drink.

if you have a blender.... crushed ice, fresh/frozen fruit, vodka, put in lass top up with champagne n give a stir

champagne blue curaco pineapple juice

Pour some vodka into a jug and add a handful of raspberries. Leave to steep, the recipe i had said for ten days bu i just pushed the raspberries thru a sieve and into the vodka(dunno if it tastes better steeping for ten days...) its jst basically raspberry vodka and champagne

Bellinis and Cosmopolitans are fab. If you want something festive though, I really love a Poinsettia: small measure triple sec/Cointreau in the bottom of champagne glass, add about 1/3-1/2 glass cranberry juice and stir, then top up with champagne or fizzy wine. It's Christmassy and fizzy and it doesn't have to be lethally alcoholic if you don't want it to.

I love the sound of that!

champagne and a drop of brandy in the glass-be careful or you will lose the power in your legs

Put some halved strawberries in a jug and cover with brandy - allow to soak, perferably overnight then top up with chiilled Cava or champagne if you can run to it....gorgeous and will make your toenails curl after a couple...go easy friend......!
