About
An oldie and a goodie, the Champagne cocktail has been popular since the mid-1800s. It’s easy to make and it has historical significance because it appeared in the first cocktail recipe book aimed at bartenders, Jerry Thomas’ classic ‘The Bartender’s Guide – A Complete Cyclopedia of Plain and Fancy Drinks.’
