I wanted to make this an even more Christmas inspired cocktail. So I swapped out the spiced rum for gingerbread rum, added marmalade vodka and orange gin, to boost the Christmas flavours. It worked to some degree but would be open to suggestions on a Christmas-y substitute for the cola though.

We replaced the vodka with elderflower vodka to enhance the elderflower taste. I thought it was a great accompaniment and added an extra dash of sweetness to just give that extra hit of indulgence which as we all know is a must when indulging in a champagne cocktail

As I sit on the sofa watching Eurovision. I find the perfect accompaniment is the lemony sweetness of this cocktail.

The sweetness accompanied with sourness makes this a delightful after dinner treat.
