Whiskey and Korbel: A Sparkling Cocktail Combination
Aug. 2, 2016

Korbel California Champagne can stand on its own or it can add complexity and character to a cocktail. A leader in California’s Methode Champenoise sparkling segment, Korbel has already established itself as a brunch staple with consumers, both at home as well as behind the bar where it is the go-to companion for orange juice in a mimosa. And while there is nothing wrong with the classic mimosa, Korbel’s potential to elevate cocktails goes far beyond that one drink. In fact, its spritzy effervesce does wonders to whiskey, transforming it into a warm weather patio pleaser.
Lighten up your brunch program by adding a few of these Korbel and whiskey cocktails to your drinks menu.
