Thanks to Champagne, this sparkler delights everyone with its sparkling bubbles, creating a festive mood. Any white sparkling wine can be used instead of Champagne. Cucumber juice, lime juice, and lime zest give it a refreshing flavor, which is complemented by sweet elderflower liqueur and a touch of spicy orange bitters. Make a pitcher for the whole group and serve it in tall glasses as you prepare for the chimes of midnight. A worthy alternative to regular Champagne for New Year's.
