Quick tips for hosting

When it comes to champagne, you’re going to want to keep things chill. No, literally. Keep your champagne cold until you’re ready to serve it!

If you’re celebrating with a crowd, making a big batch drink will save you from getting stuck behind the bar. Mix as much as you can ahead of time, but wait to add the champagne until you’re ready to serve so you don’t lose out on the bubbles.

Not all champagne is the same. Make sure you’re familiar with the terminology so you can pick the right bottle for your cocktail. These words and phrases should be on the label to tell you how sweet or dry the champagne inside is.

Brut Nature/Brut Zero: No added sugar
Extra Brut: Very dry
Brut: Very dry to dry
Extra-Sec or Extra-Dry: Off-dry to medium dry
Sec: Medium dry
Demi-Sec: Sweet
Doux: Super-sweet
