Celebrate with Bubbles!

Toast the festivities this season with sparkling wine cocktails like the classic Chambord & Champagne, or stir it up with a Blackberry Cobbler made with [yellow tail] bubbles and Bulldog Gin (recipes below). 

These effervescent cocktails are sure to take you and your guests through 2012 in style.

Use the affordable and go-to bubbly, [yellow tail] bubbles, to make the cocktails. 

 While the sparkling wine is delicious and beautifully packaged, [yellow tail] thought beyond taste and appearance and created a re-sealable cork, a “zork,” to keep the wine sparkling.  

Not only does the zork "pop" but it pops every time you open it.  So if you do not use the whole bottle in one night, put the zork back in the bottle and have bubbly mimosas the next morning.
