I'm drinking champagne and there's nothing you can do about it!

I just love champagne. It doesn't have to be a special occasion to drink it.

Everybody crack open a bottle!

4. Hmmm ...

Well, I don't usually like red wine, especially Merlot. This is a little sweeter, and lighter. Clear bottle and a very pretty color, almost like cranberry juice. And it's good chilled slightly. It's from CA, Stuart Cellars in Temecula Valley. I highly recommend it. :9

7. Try a French 75.

"The drink is composed of Champaign and Cognac, yes Champaign and Cognac, so what you do is take a jigger of Cognac - of good Cognac - and you put this into a tall glass... almost like a Tom Collins glass for example, and you put a jigger of this Cognac in it, and then you fill the glass up with good dry French Champaign. And then you take a swizzle stick... swizzle it up and it all bubbles... and you put ice in it, it's usually served with ice, and quite often it can be served with a twist of lemon in it too, they may add that to it... that is a French 75" Jean Shepherd - November 10, 1969

Named during WW-I, it became famous as the drink of returning fighter pilots... they would celebrate their safe return and toast their fallen comrades with the French 75. The name came from the most famous artillery weapon to come out of WW-I, known for it's fantastic kick.

8. Mmmmmmmmm....

10. i wonder how toffee liqueur mixed with Godiva chocolate liqueur

would be in a White Russian or Mudslide type drink. Sounds good
