What Champagne To Use
While I am a huge fan of Veuve, this recipe is best with a champagne
(or more likely Prosecco, since it is less expensive) you love the taste of - but is inexpensive.
If you really want to use expensive champagne, go for it - but you can also make this recipe with some great picks under $15.
You’ll want to use a good quality sparkling wine you like the taste of - but because we’re adding lemon and gin, it’s a bit worthless to add really expensive champagne.
What Gin To Use
For champagne based gin drinks, it is best to pick a botanical gin with citrus and herbal notes - not a dry or juniper gin that will have a stronger flavor.
We recommend Hendricks, Botanist, or another light botanical gin - we made this recipe with Hendricks.
We do not recommend Tanqueray, cardamom based gins, or strong peppery gins.

These deliciously easy drinks will get you in the party spirit and are full of flavor!
These cocktails are all delicious and fun - we really love the theatrical Feuerzangenbowle - Flaming German Rum Punch Recipe - it is mulled wine in a punch bowl, with a rum soaked flaming sugar cube on top - just like from German Christmas markets! So fun and delicious!
