The light taste of lemon and ginger with a little bubbly makes this Gingered Limoncello Champagne Cocktail a refreshing drink. Perfect to serve at a brunch, bridal shower, or any type of festive gathering.
Happy Thirsty Thursday!! I don’t know about y’all, but I’m ready to start the weekend early over here. The first day of Spring was just a few days ago but there’s still about 8 inches of snow in my yard, so I’d say that calls for a drink on a Thursday!
Even though it seems like we are caught up in a winter vortex here in New Hampshire, I’m celebrating Spring anyhow by making up a pitcher of cocktails!

This Gingered Limoncello Champagne Cocktail is enough to make anyone happy and cheerful, no matter what the weather. It’s fresh and deceptively light tasting. Plus, the addition of the ginger liqueur adds a nice little zing. I plan on serving it at my Easter brunch this year and I’m probably going to triple the recipe (because you can never have too much champagne).
Not that I ever need an excuse to make a champagne drink, but when I was given the opportunity to collaborate on a post with Drizly, an online alcohol delivery service, I jumped at the chance. And the first thing I thought of was some bubbly.
Basically Drizly works like this: you are lounging around at home in your PJs and remember you need to visit the liquor store but you have absolutely no time (or motivation) to run any kind of errand. Just grab your smartphone or computer and place an order at Drizly for beer, wine, liquor, and extras (like mixers, garnishes, and glassware). They will take your order and work with your local stores to deliver it all right to your doorstep in a timely manner and for reasonable prices.
All the ingredients in this recipe can be ordered at Drizly, from the champagne and the liqueurs to the fresh lemon, and even the ice! No kidding, they deliver ice.
They’ll also ship out a gift order to any of your family, friends, favorite food bloggers (aka ME!), etc. I know what I’m getting my Mom for Mother’s Day. A big box of liquor. Trust me, she’ll love it.
Let’s all celebrate spring and #ThirstyThursday with a fresh, lemony, bubbly Gingered Limoncello Champagne Cocktail. Cheers!!
- 2 ounces Limoncello liqueur
- 2 ounces Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup ice
- Champagne or sparkling wine (about 2½ to 3 cups)
- 4 lemon slices
- sugar rimmed glasses, optional
- Add Limoncello, Domaine de Canton, lemon juice, and ice to the cocktail shaker. Shake for 10 seconds, then strain mixture and divide evenly among 4 regular or sugar rimmed glasses. Top off each glass with Champagne and add a lemon slice. Serve immediately.
- How to make sugar rimmed glasses:
Place ½ cup granulated sugar on a plate, moisten the rim of 4 glasses with a lemon wedge, turn each glass upside down and dip into the sugar until all sides of the rim are coated.
Beautiful pictures Karrie! This drink is so pretty and swanky! All of my girlfriends would love this so I will make this at my next girls night in. Cheers! Xoxo
I could go for some alcohol right now. OMG WHAT HAS THAT TEQUILA DONE TO ME! NOW I WANT TO BOOZE IT UP ALL THE TIME! Lmfao!!!!! But yes, I totally need a weekend right now. or a day to stare at the wall. With nooooooooneeeeeee around! hahah! Well except my ridic husband, duh! And I would definitely use a delivery service app on my phone cause this girl AINT GETTING UP! 😉 Currently obsessing over Amazon Fresh… Never heard of Drizly… However, now that I am an alcoholic apparently – BRING IT!!!
Totally laughing at the line about you getting your mother a big box of liquor for mother’s day!!! That was seriously too funny 😀 I’ve heard of Drizly from fellow bloggers, but don’t think it’s around here. Sounds like a pretty sweet service, not having to get ready and go out, especially if the weather is the pits, which it is around here most of the time lately. I don’t drink champagne a whole lot…pretty much only at New Years and it’s just usually a glass or two. But I’m lovin’ this cocktail with the addition of limoncello and ginger. This would definitely make brunch extra special. Plus, the colour is just so freakin’ preeeeeeeety! Cheers sweets! Have a fab weekend!
OOOHHH NOOOO! You photos have me craving a drink right now and it’s only 10:45. In the MORNING! This cocktail sounds so fabulous I’m going to have to try it (at a more appropriate hour). I love limoncello and with ginger it has to be even better!
The colour in that glass is grogeous! Lady I am craving ten of these right now but guess i shall wait for my girlfriends and the weekend!
I agree that you can never have too much champagne and this sounds like a cocktail I would enjoy.
LIKEWHOA. What an amazing cocktail concept! I love lemon and ginger, and seriously, when is it not a party when there’s champagne! Delightful.
Such an original cocktail, I love the color, deliciously vivid and flashy 🙂
