Candy Cane Christmas Champagne
Ingredients:
- 1 bottle chilled champagne
- White Creme de Cocoa
- Candy canes
Directions:
Fill champagne glasses 1/3 full with White Creme de Cocoa and then the rest of the way with chilled Champagne. Garnish with a whole candy cane to add color and flavor.
Tip: To make this drink really pop, before filling the glasses, crush one whole candy cane with a rolling-pin until left with a semi-fine powder. Dip the rims of your champagne flutes into a small dish of White Creme de Cocoa and then into the crushed candy cane. Pour up and enjoy!
