This week I'm sharing a cocktail recipe! I was excited about this one because of the holidays coming up soon. I kept saying I was going to work on a few signature drink recipes but I just wasn't getting around to it. So when I heard the theme for this week I knew it would kick me into high gear!
Last night we had a big holiday party with all of our friends. It started out as a few friends coming over and turned into a big holiday party. Since so many people were coming I wanted to make a few super fun cocktails perfect for the holidays. I choose two recipes that I could pour in big jugs and drink that way and one recipe that was elegant and gorgeous in a champagne flute. I'll be sharing my Cranberry Ginger Margaritas later on in the week but today I'm sharing a champagne cocktail.
This isn't just any champagne cocktail...it's a BLUE champagne cocktail! How fun is that? This Blue Sparkling Star Cocktail is fun, fruity, and delicious. It combines orange vodka, blue curacao, and champagne. It's a really great combination of flavors. The rims of the glasses are dipped in blue sanding sugar which gives this cocktail a sparkle. I served it with orange wedges on the rims but it would be really fun to cut up a star fruit to garnish it with.

I love pretty blue cocktails 🙂 especially ones that sparkle! I really like that this doesn't have added sugar. I'm not a huge fan of sweet drinks but I think this probably isn't too sweet since there is only 1 oz of blue curaco, am I right about that? May have to try this one!
HezziD
Absolutely. This definitely isn't a super sweet drink which is why I like it too.

I don't know what I love more the blue sparkle, the rimmed flutes or that it has champagne in it!
