Hello everyone,

Firstly, a Happy New Year to you all!

I've got half a bottle of champagne left from last night, and my OH and I are not big drinkers, so it won't be drunk as is. So, my question is, what can I cook with it to use it up?

Thank you in advance for all of the suggestions.

ETA - I don't know if this makes a difference, but it is a Brut champagne
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Add orange juice and each have a Buck's Fizz with a nice cooked breakfast tomorrow morning.

    Left-over champagne is not a phrase that appears in my dictionary

    Can't compute...

    Can't compute...

    But you could freeze it in small ice cubes to add to a wine sauce to go with mushrooms or something

    . . . what is this strange drink of which you speak ...leftover champagne ?

    I have never known of this . . . :rotfl:

    If you add a pinch of sugar to each glass - it will quickly dissolve and make it sweeter - and/oradd a splash of blackcurrant squash for a Kir Royale?

    I'm with everyone else - don't understand the words 'leftover' and 'champagne' used in the same sentence.

    I'm sure one of us must be near you... Give us clues and the first one over wins :D

    make a champagne granita.

    1 pint water.
    8 oz sugar.
    1 vanilla pod or 2 teasp vanilla sugar.
    1 lemon
    1 pint champagne.

    boil the water briskly with the sugar and the vanilla. and rind of the lemon, for 3 mins.

    strain and cool.

    add lemon juice and freeze.

    when its almost frozen, mash it lightly with a fork and quickly stir in champagne and return to the freezer.

    serve straight from the freezer in chilled wine or champagne glasses.
