Part of my day job involves monitoring food magazines for client stories and the latest trends – not a bad job, right?
Today I found a story from the January 2011 issue of Food Network magazine on 31 tips that had to do with champagne. I love champagne and I thought that some of these tips were too awesome not to share.
Champagne Tips from Food Network Magazine (with some commentary from me!)
· Is your champagne bottle too pretty to part with? Use your empty champagne bottle as a water bottle on your table (cute idea for a hangover brunch!)
· Sautee shrimp with a splash of champagne
· Put raisins in champagne – they jump up and down
· Brie and camembert cheeses pair well with champagne
· Learn how to saber a bottle of champagne
· Make Bellini’s!
· Champagne Pops? Yes, please! Mix half champagne with half fruit juice and pour into pop molds
· Brut champagne pairs well with popcorn
· Make champagne Jell-o shots. Substitute the water with champagne
· Buy champagne, prosecco and cava and see if people can tell the difference
· Try Gruet Brut bubbly – it’s from New Mexico
· Champagne frosting: whip 2 sticks of butter, 3 cups of confectioners’ sugar and a big splash of champagne (Shot of Brandi* recommends putting this on cupcakes!)
