Tips for Making Better Champagne Cocktails

1. Choose a good quality champagne. The quality of the champagne will make a big difference in the taste of your cocktail. You can opt for a sweet or dry type of champagne, whichever you prefer.
2. Add fresh fruit juices. Fresh fruit juices, such as orange or grapefruit juice, can add a delicious flavor to your champagne cocktail. The blackberry flavor is perfect for this.
3. Be careful not to overdo it with the sweetness. Too much sweetness can ruin a good champagne cocktail, so be sure to taste it as you go and add more sweetness if needed. If you’re already using a sweeter champagne, you may want to reduce the maple syrup in this recipe.
4. Make sure the champagne is well chilled to around 45°F to 50°F (7°C to 10°C), before adding it to the cocktail. 
5. Don’t shake the bottle. Avoid shaking the champagne bottle before opening, as this can cause excessive foaming and loss of bubbles.
6. Pour down the side of the glass. Aim to pour down the side of the glass to create a gentle flow and minimize foaming.
