Due to the carbonated nature of champagne, these are best served immediately and not made ahead of time. Thankfully, they’re super easy, so it doesn’t tend to cause any trouble having to make them in the moment.
Use your favorite champagne for the best outcome in flavor preference.
I do not suggest mixing these in a cocktail shaker before adding them to the glass since this can flatten the champagne.
You’re welcome to use cocktail cranberry juice, but it tends to take over the drink and doesn’t quite let the champagne shine. However, if you don’t mind this, cocktail juice is just fine.
Have the juice and champagne already chilled if a cold drink is preferred.
