While we love a good champagne cocktail, we wanted a twist on the traditional favorite. With our bounty of fruit liqueurs from this year, we decided to do a taste test and see what we should serve at our holiday party.

The line up: Raspberry Liqueur, Royal Anne Cherry Brandy, Honey & Saffron Liqueur, and Apricot Vanilla

We took 1 oz liqueur, 4 oz Extra Dry Champagne, and tasted away

And the winner is…

Royal Anne Cherry Brandy

Try your favorite liqueur with champagne and a brandied cherry for garnish (and an added festive flair). If you don’t have home infused liqueurs in your pantry, check out your local liqueur store. Here in Portland, Oregon we are very lucky to have local fruit liqueurs made by Clear Creek Distillery.

Please enjoy and ring in the New Year with a new favorite…
