CHAMPAGNE
CONCOCTIONS—
Park Avenue Potions
Cole Porter said,“I get no kick from cham-
pagne.” But what did he know? Cham-
pagne fizzes with dizzying expectations
and golden giddiness. Put simply: champagne
makes people happy. Often associated with the
beautiful and famous, champagne cocktails can
be decadentlyexpensiveand devilishlydelightful,
especially when mixed with lavish liqueurs. So
get the party started with a little champagne.
Even if it’s not a vintage Rothschild, bubbly
inevitably transforms the most humdrum Herbert
or Harriet into a shooting star.
