"Starry Night" Champagne Cocktail

Wednesday December 23, 2009

I recently had a chance to give this Pommery recipe a go and found it to be both delicious and unique, given the acai-blueberry vodka thrown in the mix. The "Starry Night" is a fun Champagne cocktail through and through and will certainly shake things up on the bubbly front this New Year's Eve. With a dash of Van Gogh Acai-Blueberry Vodka and a splash of Pommery's pretty pink Champagne you are ready to host and toast in no time at all! Check out the "Starry Night" recipe here.
