and Serving Suggestions

The best champagne recipes seem to be the simplest of combinations, like the classic Mimosa recipe:

1 part chilled champagne
1 part chilled orange juice

Mix, and you have a very easy, very festive brunch drink. Simple, and such a good combination that we based one of our champagne punch recipes on it.

Equally important are the foods that go well with champagne. Champagne appetizers typically include caviar, fois gras, shrimp, oysters, cheese, fruit and stuffed mushrooms.

Recipes without sauces or strong ingredients that can overpower the delicate taste of champagne are often recommended. Sushi is very good, as well. But really, champagne goes with almost anything.

Serve sweet champagne with dessert or fruit, and dry champagne with caviar and most other foods.

For what it does to the mouth and to the spirits, champagne is perfect party food. Although it's fodder for debate, I say never use the expensive stuff in champagne recipes, even a mixed drink. Don't mess with perfection, savor it.
