Champagne Cocktails anyone?
So did a little back-searching, and found but a few threads on champagne/sparkling-wine.
Personally, with sparkling-wine a/k/a "Cook's Champagne" at around $6, and decent bottles from $20-35, believe that this is something that can be consumed more than just at weddings, Formula 1 races, and NYE. Am curious, what are some good recipies for cockails using chapagne that you drink/have heard of? I'll start: French 75 50ml Gin 25ml Fresh Lime Juice 12.5ml Sugar Syrup Champagne Shake with ice the Gin, Lemon juice & Sugar syrup and strain into a Champagne flute and top with Champagne Garnish with a lemon twist

A Black Velvet
6 oz. dry Champagne 6 oz. Stout Pour carefully so as not to lose the carbonation. Looks great in a tall pilsner glass

 Try pouring about an ounce of Grand Marnier or Chambord in the bottom of a champagne flute, then filling the flute with a brut champagne.

1 1/2 oz Congac 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice 1/2 tsp Powdered Sugar Champagne Combine all but champagne, shake and pour in champagne glass, fill glass with champagne, garnish with a lemon twist. Note says "If you request this drink, you might receive a mix of gin and champagne. In the French trenches of WWI, however, gin was scarce, but cognac and champagne were not. American soldiers soon discovered that a combination of the two produced an effect similar to getting zapped by an artillery piece known as a French 75."
