It might seem like only special occasions call for popping open a bottle of bubbly. But thanks to these champagne cocktails, you can turn any ordinary day into a party. Hosting a monthly book club? Make a raspberry sorbet spritz! Meeting up with friends after work? Serve a sparkling margarita with your favorite tacos. Of course, the holiday season is another great reason to make champagne cocktails. After all, you can't have a New Year's Day brunch without mimosas! And what would Christmas dinner be without champagne punch?

Champagne is one of those beverages that's delicious anytime of day, and this roundup of cocktails will show you how to sip on it morning, noon, and night! Ahead, you'll find traditional favorites, like Aperol Spritz and French 75, as well as bright new beverages, such as the champagne Moscow mule and pomegranate sparkler. But before you go choosing your next drink, you first need to hunt for the best bottle of champagne, sparkling wine, or prosecco to make your beverage as delicious as possible. Then all that's left to do is pick a few party appetizers (or champagne cupcakes for something sweet) to pair with the cocktail and make any occasion just a little bit merrier. Cheers!
