Cocktails: Champagne with Citrus Popsicles
Cocktails is a Tablecrafter series on updated versions of classic alcoholic drinks.
Some things must be appreciated in their original state, but there’s no denying that brainstorming the various ways to reinvent a classic is much too fun to completely forgo. In this recipe, we take the definitive French 75 and add an interesting twist. The citrus element of the cocktail comes in the form of an intensely flavored popsicle. Light, effervescent, and refreshing, our variation on the libation easily reminds us of the best summer cocktails we’ve had.
