THE DRINKS BUBBLY PLEASURE The king of fizzy wines morphs into flutes of refreshing cocktails, providing endless drinking pleasure. WORDS BY PATRICK LOH TM | NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2017 104
THE DRINKS Kir Royale, Bellini and Creamsicle Fizz are some of the top notch champagne cocktails that we thirst over by just thinking of them. Champagne has always been the kind of drink that you can enjoy whenever, whatever the occasion is. You can be holding a flute with the best and most expensive champagne while standing in the middle of a posh art gallery, or you can be partying in a club while downing the best Orange Sparkle champagne cocktail. Thirteen centuries ago, champagne was actually used as holy wine for religious purposes and rituals, according to Laurel Heistand, a wine connoisseur and French teacher. As you can imagine, the liquid contained no bubbles and instead of a pale yellow, it was simply red in colour. After these religious ceremonies, especially those done for royalty, the wine was then used as a celebratory drink. Centuries later, these red wines in France are known as drinks for the kings, and also the king of all wines. Champagne, also a wine region in France, became the main producer of these red wines. Although it’s red in colour, it’s still not blood red and thick like normal wines, so the drink was simply disregarded from the wine family. Instead, they named the drink after the region, Champagne. As for the colour, various notes were then added in to dilute the red hue, creating a vibrant, classy yellow. Today, champagne is associated with class and expensiveness; the celebratory status remains. Among the many brands out there, these five are the ones that keep the legacy going.
