Ingredients
½ oz grenadine
½ oz blue curaçao liqueur (not syrup)
Chilled champagne or prosecco (to top off)
Corn syrup (for rimming the glass)
Gold edible glitter or sprinkles (for rim and sparkle)
Optional Garnish:
Edible shimmer cube or golden sugar star
Instructions
Prepare the Rim: Pour corn syrup onto a small plate and gold sprinkles on another. Dip the rim of a champagne flute into the syrup, then into the sprinkles to coat. Add a pinch of edible glitter inside the flute if you like extra sparkle.
Layer the Drink: Pour ½ oz grenadine into the bottom of the glass. Slowly pour ½ oz blue curaçao over the back of a spoon to gently layer it on top of the grenadine without mixing.
Top with Champagne: Carefully fill the rest of the glass with chilled champagne or prosecco, pouring slowly to preserve the layers.
Garnish & Serve: Add an edible shimmer cube or gold sugar star if using. Serve immediately while the bubbles are dancing and the layers are vibrant.
Notes
For a mocktail version, substitute champagne with sparkling apple cider and use a non-alcoholic blue syrup.
Pour gently over the back of a spoon to keep the color layers defined.
Rimming the glasses can be done ahead of time—perfect for party prep.
Use a brut or dry champagne to balance the sweetness of the grenadine.
This drink is best enjoyed fresh to keep the bubbles and color separation at their best.
