Cotton Candy Champagne

This cotton candy champagne is bubbly, sweet, and perfect for parties! It’s sparkling wine served in a sprinkle-rimmed glass, then topped with a cloud of cotton candy. It’ll elevate your party, and it’s ready in minutes!

This cotton candy champagne cocktail is sparkling wine all dressed up. It’s playful, whimsical, and perfect for celebrations like New Year’s Eve, birthdays, or weddings—any time I want a drink that feels extra fun.

Even though it looks fancy, it couldn’t be easier to make. I dip the rims of the glasses in warm honey, coat them in festive sprinkles (this part can be done a day ahead), then carefully pour in sparkling wine. Right before serving, I top each glass with a fluffy tuft of cotton candy and let the magic happen.

For a kid-friendly or non-alcoholic version, I swap the sparkling wine for sparkling apple juice or dealcoholized bubbles. It’s sweet, festive, and guaranteed to delight guests of all ages—one of those drinks that gets smiles before the first sip.

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 tablespoon honey
• ▢ 3 tablespoons festive sprinkles
• ▢ 1 bottle sparkling wine (see notes)
• ▢ Cotton candy (any color)

Instructions 

• Put the honey into a small bowl that's slightly wider than your glasses. Warm it gently in the microwave so that it is very runny. Put the sprinkles into another small bowl. Dip the rim of a glass into the honey then into the sprinkles. Repeat with all the glasses you plan on using.
  1 tablespoon honey, 3 tablespoons festive sprinkles
  
• Carefully fill each champagne glass ⅔ full with sparkling wine. Balance a piece of cotton candy on the rim of each glass, using a cocktail pick to help keep it in place if needed. Do not let the cotton candy touch the champagne or it will dissolve.
  

Notes

You can rim your glasses with sprinkles a day in advance. 

Leave the cotton candy sealed until right before you use it. If you open it in advance, it will start to shrink and harden. 

We like to serve these in small coupe glasses, but champagne flutes work equally well.

For a playful mocktail, use no-alcohol sparkling juice!
