NY Champagne Week: What to Drink & Where to Go

Second Annual #NYChampagneWeek Sets The City a'Sparkling



It's a celebration of the most festive libation! Endeavoring to showcase the approachability and highlight the diversity that bubbly has to offer, Blaine Ashley and the CitySip team have assembled a series of champagne-centered events involving cocktails, competitions and cuisine pairings. If you're not in or close to the Big Apple and would like to sip along, here are a couple of champagne cocktails to try at home:





Amaterasu (Japanese Wolf Goddess) by Montelobos Mezcal National Ambassador, Camille Austin 

.5 oz yuzu juice
.5 oz simple syrup (1:1)
Shake/ strain over Champagne
Glass: flute
Garnish: grapefruit zest




Westside Royale by Reyka Vodka National Ambassador, Trevor Schneider

25 ml Fresh Lime Juice
20 ml Simple Syrup
3 slices of cucumber
Small handful Mint
Combine all ingredients except champagne and shake, add champagne to the tin and double strain.
Glass: coupe
Garnish: cucumber float
