Sparkling Wine Margaritas

Everyone loves a good margarita, especially one with a little fizz and sugar sprinkles! The best part about this cocktail is that you can personalize the sugar sprinkles to match your wedding colors if needed.

Recipe (makes 6 margaritas):

1 Cup White Tequila
2/3 Cup Lime Juice
1/3 Cup Agave Nectar
1-1/2 Cups Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut
Sugar Sprinkles
Lime Slices or Peels to Garnish

Sugar Rim:

Wet the rim of your glass with lime juice. Pour sugar sprinkles onto surface and run the rim of your glass through sprinkles.

Raspberry Limoncello

This is such a tart drink, but the Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut pairs perfectly with the lemon, and the raspberries add more sweetness and color to this refreshing cocktail!

Recipe (makes 1 pitcher):

3 Cups Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut, Chilled
1 Cup Limoncello Liqueur, Chilled
1 Cup Frozen Raspberries
1 Lemon Peel to Garnish
1 Sprig of Rosemary to Garnish

We suggest placing raspberries in first!

Sparkling Wine Sherbet Float

Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut, Chilled
1 Container Orange Sherbet

***3-5 scoops of sherbet per flute!
