At the risk of you thinking I’m a complete dilettante, let me just say that not only is this drink tremendous fun to serve, but you can of course use other sparkling wine.

Champagne and Haribo just has a nice ring to it and, as with most cocktails, came about more by accident than design – I had an abundance of Haribo left over from a party and a mini bottle of Champagne in the fridge.

Serves
6

Ingredients

  • 180ml peach liqueur
  • Haribo of choice (I like a mix of gummy bears and Tangfastics)
  • 75cl bottle of sparkling wine, cava or prosecco of choice (or Champagne if you’re feeling flush)

Method

  1. Pour 30ml of the peach liqueur into each of six Champagne flutes and add the Haribo – one or two of each type.
  2. Top up with fizz and stir a little so that the Haribo start to bob and dance about.
  3. Drink. And watch out for those tipsy Haribo – they’re the best part!
