Ingredients
  

  • 1 bottle champagne well chilled, about 750ml
  • 2 tablespoons sugar adjust to taste or use honey as alternative
  • 1 cup citrus juice lemon or lime for brightness
  • 3 cups ice cubes more or less as needed for desired thickness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Pour the chilled champagne into the blender, ensuring it's not fizzy but fully chilled to prevent excessive foaming.
  2. Add the sugar to the champagne, then blend briefly until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is slightly frothy.
  3. Mix in the citrus juice for a tart, bright flavor, blending again to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Add the ice cubes to the blender, then pulse a few times to start crushing the ice without completely liquefying it.
  5. Blend on high until the mixture reaches a smooth, slushy consistency, with small icy chunks evenly distributed and a sparkle in the mixture.
  6. Pour the icy champagne mixture into chilled glasses, letting the shivery, shimmering slush sit invitingly on the rim.
  7. 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.
