Sip into paradise with this cocktail twist! Crafted by mixologist Jim Wrigley, this bubbly delight puts a fresh twist on the classic piña colada, featuring a tantalizing blend of pineapple juice and effervescent bubbles. Skip the blender—this Champagne Colada is served in a flute for an elegant touch. Whether you're on a tropical beach or shaking it up at home, enjoy the tropical vibes with a splash of white rum and a hint of coconut-pineapple infusion.
ingredients
- 1½ ounces of your favorite sparkling wine (we love this paired with Veuve Clicquot - Yellow Label or Mumm's Napa Prestige)
- 1 ounce aged rum
- 1 ounce fresh pineapple juice
- ½ ounce fresh lime juice
- ½ ounce Coco Lopez
- Equal parts toasted coconut flakes and sugar blend, for garnish
directions
Wet rim of glass and dip into coconut-sugar blend. Add sparkling wine. In cocktail shaker filled with crushed ice, combine remaining ingredients (except garnish), and shake vigorously until chilled. Strain into prepared glass. Top with more sparkling wine to create fuzzy top.
Cheers to a taste of sunshine in every sip!
