Favorite Champagne Cocktail
My favorite sound is a popping cork. Wine, champagne, I don’t discriminate. That pop gets me every time. It’s like Pavlov’s dog, really. The making of this pink lemontini champagne cocktail recipe got me salivating. And it will for you too!
This bubbly drink combines lemonade, champagne, and grenadine for a gorgeous pink champagne cocktail!
What’s in this drink?
I love lemontinis and the base of this recipe is my favorite martini, turned pink. My favorite lemonitini recipe is made with vodka (regular or citrus), limoncello, sweet and sour, and fresh lemon juice. You can reduce the sweet and sour mix, if you want it less sweet.
The “pink” comes from a dash of grenadine or maraschino cherry juice. I just love that it’s pink, especially for the holidays.

Expert Tips
- If you’re making this for two, just mix up the cocktail in a shaker over ice, strain into champagne or martini classes, and top off with champagne or prosecco.
- If you’re making this for a crowd, serve it in a pitcher or a punch bowl and add some ice made out of lemonade to keep it cold but not water it down.
- Because the pink lemontini mixture is sweet, you want to stick with a less sweet bubbly drink. Opt for Prosecco, or an Extra Brut champagne, which will be less sweet than dry.

This looks so good! I could definitely get into trouble with a couple of these. And I love that pink hue!
It has been an interesting week with a screaming child, so I could definitely use a few of these gorgeous drinks!
I think my children’s laughter is my favorite sound too. 🙂 I love the looks of this drink, it’s so lovely! I think I’m going to have to make one of these on New Year’s Eve! 🙂
Oh this sounds SO GOOD! You cannot go wrong with limoncello, champagne, and anything pink!! I’d belly up to the punch bowl and not want to leave 🙂
This is so delicious that I would be very drunk, very fast. But in a very good way, Dorothy!
I’ve never thought about my favorite sound. I like silence a lot, but that’s probably temporary given the volume level in my house. Now I have to really think about it. But a cork popping is up there!
