It’s Valentine’s Day, and though you may not be going out, that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate! What better way to toast your sweetheart than with a homemade cocktail? Rather than scouring the internet looking for the perfect concoction to show your Valentine you care just whip up this recipe for Rose Champagne Cocktail.
This recipe, courtesy of thekitchn.com, is a quick fix-all you have to do is mix, sip and enjoy!
The classic recipe can be a little sweet, so I started wondering if I could cut the traditional sugar cube in half and found indeed you can. For this cocktail recipe you will cut one cube for every two glasses.
How to Cut a Sugar Cube
Using a sharp knife score the cube all the way around. Then using a sharp knife, serrated knife or scissors you can trim your cube the rest of the way through, making two halves.
This may seem silly to you, but if you don't like your sips sweet, it's key for this cocktail to work for you. On the other hand, if you prefer a bit of sweetness, go ahead and add one whole cube to each glass.
Since it is Valentine's Day, toasting with something pink seemed like the perfect pick, and a dry sparkling rosé or a Champagne rouge to top off our cocktail is just the thing. So polish your coupes or flutes and enjoy this sparkling rosé cocktail for happy hour.
