Usually, when you think coconut cocktail, you are transported to tropical beaches, not snowy winter days and popping champagne bottles by a cozy fire. But we’ve partnered with Fine Wine & Good Spirits to bring you unique New Year’s Eve cocktails with elements you can buy right at the state store. The Snowbirds is a festive, creative take on a champagne cocktail which blends coconut water, a dash of pineapple juice, and a garnish of coconut flakes over sparkling wine.
Which Sparkling Wine Should You Use for This Coconut Cocktail?
Fine Wine & Good Spirits has a wide variety of sparkling wines you can choose from, but not all will pair well with tropical flavors like coconut and pineapple. You may want to use a drier Prosecco like Montechiara Prosecco Extra Dry Nonvintage or a Cava like Gran Campo Viejo Cava Brut Reserva rather than Champagne, because the flavors will balance out better with coconut and pineapple. Luckily, all of these are available at Fine Wine & Good Spirits. For more recommendations for sparkling wines for New Year’s Eve, check out our guide to hostess gift sparkling wines.
