This week Sunday Supper is sharing Libation recipes! 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.
- 2 oz. Orange Vodka
- 1 oz. Blue Curacua
- 3 oz. Champagne
- 2 slices of orange
- blue sanding sugar
- Take one orange slice and run it around the rim of a champagne glass. Turn the glass over and dip into the blue sanding sugar.
- Pour the orange vodka and blue curacuo into the champagne glass. Gently swirl to combine.
- Fill the glass up with champagne and place an orange slice on the rim.

Julie @ Texan New Yorker says
Thank you for giving me another, unique recipe to use up my blue curacao that is just sitting in my pantry feeling neglected! These drinks are gorgeous!
Sarah says
This looks *almost* too pretty to drink!

Oh, boy, these are gorgeous!!! So beautiful and festive!
Tara says
I love blue for the holidays and this is so festive and pretty!
Shelby says
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 says
Absolutely. This definitely isn’t a super sweet drink which is why I like it too.
Deanna Samaan says
Oh I love the blue! This perfect drink for sipping under the stars on New Years eve 🙂 I love it!
HezziD says
Thanks! I lvoed the blue color of them too.
Alice says
This is really pretty and such a nice change from the traditional holiday colors! Starfruit is always super cute and so yummy too!
Tammi @Momma's Meals says
I don’t know what I love more the blue sparkle, the rimmed flutes or that it has champagne in it!
Renee says
Oh how pretty! This would be perfect for those who decorate with silver and blue for the holidays.
HezziD says
Silver and blue is exactly how we decorate the house!
David @ CookingChat says
This looks refreshing!
