Looking for the perfect champagne toast for the holidays or New Year’s Eve? The Shimmering Golden Champagne Cocktail is fun, festive, and absolutely gorgeous—made with a splash of orange liqueur, sparkling cherries, edible gold dust, and a rim of golden sanding sugar for that extra celebratory sparkle!

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon honey

Gold sanding sugar

Maraschino cherry

1/2 oz. Triple Sec (or orange liquor)

5 oz champagne, brut/sparkling white

Gold edible sparkle dust

Instructions

  1. Add a little honey to a small plate and dip the champagne flute into the honey.
  2. In a separate small dish, add the gold sanding sugar and dip the glass into it until the rim is covered.
  3. Add a cherry (can also add a little of the cherry juice as well) and the Triple Sec.
  4. Sprinkle in some of the edible sparkle dust.
  5. Fill the rest of the flute with the champagne/sparkling wine.
  6. Top with more edible dust to your liking and enjoy.

Notes

  • To enhance the golden color, you can add some of the sanding sugar to the bottom of the glass as well. But after you pour the champagne the fizz will make some of it fall into the bottom of the glass anyways.
  • Alternative to honey, you can rim the glass with a bit of the juice from the cherries.
