Bourbon And Sparkling Wine: The Dynamic Cocktail Duo You Must Try
BY NIKITA EPHANOV
When paired together, sparkling wine and bourbon create a cocktail that features sparkling wine’s light, sippable nature while retaining the complex, bold flavors of bourbon.
In drinks like the French 95, the spirit's boozy character pairs beautifully with lemon and sugar, turned into a complex, sippable affair with the addition of champagne.
The other well-known bourbon and champagne cocktail is the Seelbach, which is made from Angostura, Peychaud, triple sec, sparkling wine, and bourbon.
To craft your own cocktail, start with an ounce of bourbon, as much sparkling wine as you please, and perhaps additions like berry liqueur, crème de cassis, or Chambord.
