Cotton Candy Champagne

Cotton candy champagne is a fun cocktail made with champagne, orange liqueur, and cotton candy. Watch as the cotton candy melts into the drink melding with the flavors of the liqueur while bringing sweetness to the bite!

Why this recipe works

With a hint of citrus from the orange liqueur, the fizzy bubbles of champagne, and a pop of sweetness from cotton candy, these cocktails really do make the perfect party sipper. Champagne cocktails are almost always served at some kind of celebration. You just can’t beat the bubbly!

Cotton candy champagne can be used as a fun signature cocktail at birthday parties, weddings, New Year’s get-togethers, girl’s nights, or special events.

Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

CHAMPAGNE – You can use regular champagne, prosecco, sparkling wine, or opt for an alcohol-free version by using lemonade or pink lemonade mixed with some sparkling water.

LIQUEUR – Orange-flavored liqueur, such as Cointreau or Triple Sec works great for this recipe.

COTTON CANDY – It’s important that the cotton candy you use is fresh. Keep it sealed until right before serving, this will prevent your cotton candy from melting and turning hard.
