Alfonso Cocktail

The Alfonso Cocktail is a simple champagne cocktail to make for special celebrations. Impress your guests with a bubbly drink this holiday season. 

Champagne Punch and and sparkling wine cocktails are perfect for holiday cocktail parties and they are so easy to make. 

The Alfonso was first made in France in the 1930’s and named for an exiled Spanish king. It’s sure to be a hit for your next special occasion, so pick up a bottle of your favorite bubbly and get the party started.

Ingredients Needed

• Champagne or Sparkling Wine ~ Choose your favorite brand, we are using Barefoot Moscato Spumante for this cocktail. Best if chilled. 
• Vermouth ~ The original recipe calls for sweet vermouth but we used dry for this recipe. Use your preference and it’s best if chilled.
• Angostura Bitters ~ Find these at the liquor store or in the cocktail mixer section of your grocery store.
• Sugar Cubes ~ Adds a hint of sweetness and makes the champagne really bubble.
• Orange Peel ~ Optional garnish.

Step By Step Directions

• Soak each sugar cube with about 4 dashes of angostura bitters.

• Add the vermouth to the glasses.

• Drop each sugar cube into a champagne flute.
• Top with champagne.

• Garnish with a curl of orange peel.
