Live For Food

The wedding I was at last weekend reminded me how nice champagne is!  It’s not something I buy regularly, which I suspect is the case for most people, as it gets saved for special occasions.  Unless you are French, and then apparently you get to drink it every day!

So if you are having a celebration where you want something special to drink, why not try these ideas for making champagne extra special:

• Put a few drops of cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) in the bottom of each glass before pouring in the champagne. Then you will get pink champagne!

• Instead of serving champagne in the traditional flutes, get some of these 30s style coupe glasses.

• Make champagne cocktails – such as the famous Bellini cocktail

• Pop into few raspberries into the champagne glass first and they will hold a few fizzy bubbles inside the fruit
