22 Bubbly Champagne Cocktails for Toasting the Holidays

Let's kick this off with a classic! Sipping the original champagne cocktail just feels sophisticated. A cube of sugar, a couple dashes of Angostura bitters, and some sparkling wine — that's all there is to this glamourous cocktail. 

If you thought it couldn't get easier than the original champagne cocktail, may I introduce you to the two-ingredient mimosa? Bubbles and OJ. "This mimosa is a traditional brunch beverage," says Jodi Hamrick. "Enjoy this light delight on Mother's Day, Christmas, or any special occasion."

Traditionally used bourbon is substituted with Champagne and cognac for a bold twist on the classic Mint Julep. It's best served over crushed ice, with recipe creator Lorum Ipsum suggesting, " If you don't have crushed ice, put some in a towel and whack it with a mallet. Or add ice to a shaker and shake vigorously to crack it."

To create this impressively bright cocktail, simply add a drizzle of agave nectar and a dash of raspberry liqueur to Champagne. 

It's worth seeking out creme de cassis liqueur for this special French-inspired cocktail. The liqueur is made from blackcurrants, creating a dark and sweet syrupy drink. You'll find creme de cassis in well-stocked liquor stores (or order it online). 

Forget the orange juice, this fun spin on a mimosa uses pomegranate juice adds a pretty, rosy hue to this classic cocktail. If fresh pomegranates are available, adding a few seeds to the drink creates a fun texture contrast of bubbly and crunchy. 

"Three simple ingredients: Champagne, sugar, and Angostura bitters add up to an elegant and refreshing sipper," says recipe creator squawk93. Garnish with a twist of lemon for the ultimate fancy drink.

Featuring a double wham of flavor, thanks to frozen peaches and peach schnapps, this fruity Champagne cocktail will cool you off. Since the peaches are frozen, there's no need to add ice cubes and water down the drink, it simply turns into a slushie once blended. 

Here's another simple, low-alcohol option for holiday parties and Christmas brunch. A beloved holiday cocktail, poinsettias are easy to make and sure to be a crowd pleaser for parties. Simply mix Champagne with a splash of cranberry juice, and you'll be rewarded with a sweet and tart sipper. 

Time to bring out the big guns! It's gin for the win, with lemon juice and simple syrup in supporting rolls. Shake it up over ice and strain this hard-hitting cocktail into a Champagne flute or collins glass and top it off with Champagne. "This drink is fantastic!" raves Rebecca Mayhew. "It's also great to partially mix in bulk, then top either in a pitcher or individually with the champagne! Perfect for a group Brunch!"

Orange liqueur is the secret ingredient to this holiday-special mimosa, adding an extra zing of citrus flavor and boost of booze. The sugar-coated rim gives it an elegant look, perfect for Christmas brunch or New Year's Eve. 

Champagne pairs up with vanilla ice cream and pre-made lemonade for a creamy and tart drink that's irresistible. For a fun color change, use pink lemonade instead.

In this cocktail fresh strawberries are blended with sugar and brandy before getting a bubbly lift from Champagne. Serve with pieces of fresh fruit for the ultimate drink and snack combo. 

Two tasty winter fruits, cranberries and pomegranates, add their rich and tart flavors to this cocktail. It's a seasonal spin on the mimosa, made even more festive with frozen cranberries in place of ice cubes.

The pairing of Champagne and a citrus-flavored energy drink, like Red Bull, may seem like an odd choice but it's sure to go down easy. "I was tired of Champagne and orange juice so I tried this last 4th of July and loved it," says recipe creator Erin0220.

The bold flavors of lemon-flavored vodka and orange liqueur add a boost of citrus to Champagne in this easy cocktail. "I thought this was very good! I never had a fizzy martini before," says reviewer Lillian. "I love the citrus very refreshing!"

Sparkling wine, cranberry juice, and a splash of orange liqueur create "a wonderful Christmas morning drink with a pink hue that looks lovely when garnished with fresh rosemary sprigs and sugared cranberries," says ERIKIM21.

Sparkling rose and apricot mango juice are all it takes! "This is a twist on the classic mimosa," says thedailygourmet. "The apricot mango juice gives this mimosa a taste of the tropics.">.

Another two-ingredient classic. "Canned peaches, sparkling wine, and a blender are all that is needed for a nice cold peach beverage," says MAGNOLIAWENCH. "Add a dash of grenadine for a more colorful drink!"

This sparkling pear cider take on the mimosa "tastes lighter than the orange juice version and doesn't diminish that lovely champagne fizz," says Kris Swiggum.

Here's a classic party punch that's fruity and refreshing with cranberry juice, pink lemonade, limeade, Champagne, and white wine. "This punch was a HUGE hit at my Christmas Eve party," says ANGELA. "Everyone loved it."

Apricot-mango nectar and pineapple choice are the secrets to this party cocktail! "A nice change from just plain orange juice for mimosas," says OStreetGuy. "Made this for Christmas brunch and everyone enjoyed it."
