† Champagne Cocktail recipe at International Bartenders Association
A champagne cocktail is an alcoholic cocktail made with sugar, Angostura bitters, Champagne, brandy, and a maraschino cherry as a garnish. It is one of the IBA official cocktails. Other variations include Grenadine, Orange bitters, Cognac (substitute of brandy) or Sparkling wine (substitute for champagne). Other nonofficial garnishes include strawberries or dried orange slices.
A recipe for the cocktail appears as early as "Professor" Jerry Thomas' Bon Vivant's Companion (1862), which omits the brandy or cognac and is considered to be the "classic" American version.[1] Harry Johnson was one of the bartenders who revived the model by adding other fruit to the mix.[2]
