There's just something about those sparkling bubbles that make champagne cocktails extra fun and refreshing. And on a recent trip to Savannah, Georgia, I came across a very intriguing champagne cocktail ...
A Champagne Cobbler Cocktail ... laced with muddled fresh raspberries and blackberries.
This cocktail is packed with the fabulous flavor of fresh berries in every sensational sip.
After a trolley tour of historic Savannah, we had stopped at a rooftop lounge overlooking the Savannah River for an afternoon cocktail break. Because, you know ... sight-seeing is hard work. And calls for frequent "rest" breaks.
As soon as I saw the Champagne Cobbler Cocktail on the menu, I knew it was what I was going to order. {Remember the statement above? I'm a sucker for a champagne cocktail.}
THIS is one fantastic champagne cocktail. Slightly sweet, but not too sweet. Refreshing. With the wonderful flavor of fresh raspberry and blackberry in every sip.
Just perfect for an afternoon sight-seeing break.
Or, for just plain sipping at home, of course.
So after our trip, I set out to recreate the Champagne Cobbler Cocktail's berry-and-champagne deliciousness so it could be enjoyed at home.
The only snag I hit in recreating this tasting drink was that I was unfamiliar with one of its ingredients Cocchi Americano.
After a little digging, I figured out that Cocchi Americano is an Italian fortified aperitif wine. Okay ... but I really wanted to use easily-accessible ingredients ... and was hopeful I could figure out something to use in its place.
The only snag I hit in recreating this tasting drink was that I was unfamiliar with one of its ingredients Cocchi Americano.
A little more digging revealed that Cocchi Americano is flavored with Cinchona bark ... which I then read is the original source of quinine.
Quinine! ... As a gin & tonic lover, there's something I'm familiar with! ... as in quinine in the form of tonic water.
So I decided to use a splash of tonic water in my Champagne Cobbler Cocktail version instead of the Cocchi Americano. {Please note, I am in no way suggesting Cocchi Americano and tonic water are even remotely the same or interchangeable. So Cocchi Americano lovers ... no hate "mail," please.}
With my ingredient dilemma solved, I set about muddling beautiful fresh berries to serve as the base of my Champagne Cobbler Cocktail ...
And finally, kicked back to enjoy my afternoon at-home champagne cocktail break.
Believe me, this berry-licious cobbler version of a champagne cocktail is sooo worthy of my champagne cocktail crush.
And with it's fabulous flavors of fresh berries in every sip, I think you'll enjoy it, too!
