Method
- Pour the chilled champagne into the blender, ensuring it's not fizzy but fully chilled to prevent excessive foaming.
- Add the sugar to the champagne, then blend briefly until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is slightly frothy.
- Mix in the citrus juice for a tart, bright flavor, blending again to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Add the ice cubes to the blender, then pulse a few times to start crushing the ice without completely liquefying it.
- Blend on high until the mixture reaches a smooth, slushy consistency, with small icy chunks evenly distributed and a sparkle in the mixture.
- Pour the icy champagne mixture into chilled glasses, letting the shivery, shimmering slush sit invitingly on the rim.
- Garnish with a thin lemon or lime twist and a sprig of fresh mint for a fragrant, colorful finishing touch.
Notes
For a less sweet version, reduce the sugar or honey. Use frozen berries or fruit slices as optional mix-ins. Serve immediately for the best icy texture.
