You know that it is traditionally a drink for special occasions. But what if there are new ways to drink that make it perfect for any time of day? This blog post will explore some of the best ways to enjoy your drink any time of day. From breakfast drinks to sparkling cocktails, there are plenty of options to choose from. So, whether you’re looking for a special treat or a fun way to change your routine, read on for some great ideas.
There are three primary types of champagne: Blanc de Blancs, Blanc de Noirs, and Rosé. Here’s a quick basic guide to the differences between each:
The Different Types
Blanc de Blancs:
Blanc de Blancs is made entirely from white grapes, typically Chardonnay. It’s clean and crisp, with delicate floral and citrus notes. It’s perfect for pairing with light appetizers or seafood.
Blanc de Noirs:
Blanc de Noirs is made from red grapes – usually Pinot Noir or Pinot Meunier. It has richer flavour profiles, including stone fruits, baked goods, and sometimes a hint of smoke. It’s an ideal choice for heavier hors d’oeuvres or main courses.
Rosé:
Rosé is made from a blend of red and white grapes. The colour can range from pale pink to almost salmon-hued, depending on the grape varieties used and the winemaking style employed. Rosé tend to be fruity and refreshing, making them versatile partners for food or simply sipping on their own.
How To Make Cocktails
Add a sugar cube and a dash of bitters for a classic cocktail, and top with bubbly.
If you’re feeling festive, try adding fruit juice or liqueur. Orange juice is delicious any time of year.
For something truly unique, try making a savoury cocktail by adding herbs or spices to your glass. A little rosemary or thyme can add an unexpected twist to your drink.
How To Store And Serve
Champagne is best served chilled, so be sure to store it in the fridge or in a cool, dark place. Keep it chilled in a bucket of ice water if you’re serving at a party. To open a bottle, hold it at the base and twist the cork slowly and evenly until it pops. Pour into flutes or glasses, filling them about halfway.
Breakfast Bubbles
There’s indeed no better way to start your day than with a glass of bubbly.
Breakfast is the day’s most important meal, so how about starting it off with a bit of luxury? It’s light and refreshing and can be enjoyed with various foods.
Try pairing it with some fresh fruit for a healthy breakfast option. Or, if you’re feeling indulgent, pair it with a delicious breakfast pastry.
Bellinis
There’s nothing quite like a glass of sparkling wine to get the party started, and what better way to enjoy it than with a delicious Bellini? This classic Italian cocktail is made with Prosecco and peach puree, and it’s the perfect drink for any occasion.
If you’re currently looking for a new twist on the classic Bellini, try adding a splash of fruit juice or liqueur to your drink. For a summery twist, mix in some strawberries or raspberries. Or, for a festive touch, add a shot of cranberry juice. This bubbly cocktail is sure to please no matter how you make it.
Conclusion
When it comes to choosing the right drink for any occasion, there are a few things you need to take into consideration. What is the occasion? Is it a formal event involving your colleagues or a casual get-together? Second, what time of day will you be drinking? Third, what type do you prefer?
If you want to enjoy a formal event, you’ll want to choose something luxurious and refined. For casual get-togethers during the day, try something lighter and more refreshing.
