Roses are red, violets are blue, and champagne cocktails are the perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s Day with the one you love. Introducing a rosy-hued version of the popular French 75, the Blushing 75. Pink, bubbly, and delicious this Valentine’s Day champagne cocktail is easy to make…and easy to drink. Whether you’re hosting a Galentines Girls Night or a romantic dinner for two, this recipe will help make your celebration a bubbly blast.
Recipe Tips
- You can serve this beautiful drink in any type of wine or champagne glass but these coupe glasses from CB2 are my current fave.
- I like to use this rosè wine to make the simple syrup
- Use exotic garnishes (like edible glitter, edible flowers, or these fun heart shaped cocktail picks) to personalize this drink to your taste or party theme.
- This Valentine’s Day stunner may look innocent but don’t be deceived. It’s delicate hues hide a powerful punch that could leave you weak at the knees (Valentine’s Day pun intended). I definitely recommend having heavy appetizers or a meal while enjoying this Blushing 75.
