Champagne Ice Cubes


I love champagne, don't most girls?

I love to celebrate special occasions with some champs, but I never want more than a glass or two and usually end up eventually pouring half the bottle down the drain.

While flipping through a magazine a while back, I noticed the idea of using that extra champagne to make ice cubes - genius!!  You can even pop a cube or two in a glass of white wine, lemonade, the possibilities are endless.


I chose the rosé for a pretty pink ice cube.


So with half a bottle left, what to do?

Drink it straight up:


Mimosas, anyone?


Or just make more ice cubes because they are perfection.

This could be dangerous.


Pink lemonade with three rosé ice cubes...mother, may I have another?

  2. When they melt do you get a burst of fizz or is it flat?

    1. I think it's more flat...especially since there's only one or two cubes in a glass -- you can definitely taste that it's champagne but it's not as carbonated as a fresh bottle of champs is...does that make any sense?

  3. Nice! I am curious too if they are fizzy when they melt or not. I am going to have to try this.

  8. Girl, I tried these...AMAZING! So random, but I've been craving champagne lately and I didn't want to do a regular mimosa so I used Red Raspberry Lemonade and champagne and then made ice cubes with the leftovers. GENIUS :)
