    Anyone have a good recipe for a champagne cocktail?  Something to use as a signature cocktail for an outdoor spring wedding?  Something that would look pretty and taste great!  (I'm partial to pineapple, watermellon, strawberry, raspberry, peach and pear.)  Thanks!

    One of my favorite things to do in the whole world is get a scoop of rainbow sherbert, put it in a glass, and pour champagne over it. Don't know if that's really what you're looking for though lol. Hope you figure it out!

    olya- I don't even know what wild berry syrup is!  Is it a standard drink syrup?  I'd like something that's sweet but not overpoweringly sweet.

    i don't know if it's a standard drink syrup.. there's a restaurant in ny called casimir [(212) 358-9683] i was looking through their drink menu and didn't see anything i liked and told the waitress that i wanted a champagne cocktail that was sweet, but not too sweet and she came back with that--everytime i go back, i get it now--the bartender told me it was a wild berry syrup. if you're interested, give them a call and ask

    Bellinis are so yummy.

    Also, a classic champagne drink is a Cham Cham - champagne and Chambord (raspberry liqueur).  Raspberry, bubbly, and a pretty pink color!  (extra points for floating a few fresh raspberries in it)

    Another fave of mine is champagne and pear juice.  No cute name that I know of, but very yummy.

    A little Rasberry vodka, champagne, and a few frozen rasberries. I have served it at several parties and everyone loves it.

    You can find all sorts of flavors or fruit nectar at the gorcery store (usually in the mexican/ethnic aisle). Just put a teaspoon in the bottom of the glass and add champage. It is a sweetener and adds great flavor and some color. I love the stawberry! It's cheap, easy, and yummy!

    Here are a couple really fun, old-school champagne drinks:

    A Kir Royale is an old french cocktail made with creme de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) and champagne. It's unique, sweet, and a pretty purple color. It's garnished with a twist of lemon.

    A French 75. It's a cocktail made from cognac OR gin (I like mine with Hendrick's gin), champagne, lemon juice, and sugar. This is also garnished with a twist of lemon. It's a drink that has been around since WW1 and it's SO good. It doesn't have a huge alcohol flavor to it.

    You can find the recipies online.
