Rum was the hottest spirit of 2022, but there’s just something special about opening a bottle of Champagne this time of the year. So the natural question is can this combination even work in a cocktail? The answer is yes, and today I tried 3 recipes so that you can add a twist to this amazing sparkling wine from the Champagne region of France. I’ll start with the Air Mail (similar to an effervescent Honeysuckle Daiquiri), followed by Audrey Saunders’ Old Cuban and ending with a Rum Champagne Cocktail, so you’ll have more than enough options to start this New Year in the best way possible! Let’s say goodbye to 2022 together and greet the exciting times that are ahead. Here’s to 2023. Cheers!

Happy New Year, my friend. Thank you for the fantastic content and bringing to light men's health, we are often dismissed and you have been a great advocate. Cheers to 2023 and I hope you, your family, crew and their families have a wonderful New Year 🥃🥂
Thank you and the crew for a great cocktail year. I learn something new almost everytime I watch your videos.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year and may 2023 be a good year for us all.
The Old Cuban is something I'll 100% do next year! (now everything is already organised)
Definitely Super Juice! I love a lot of the cocktails but Super Juice is what I use the most.
I love this channel so much
Nice drinks. I love a good Old Cuban. I go this year for this champagne cocktail:
50 ml of Sloe Gin (Hepple for example)
10 ml Cherry Heering
1 dash Pimento Bitters
Stir, strain onto fresh ice in a small glass and top up with about 70 ml of champagne.
Kevin Cola 🙂
Champagne Rosewater Float please 🌹
I think I’d like to give the air mail a try this NYE
It's true, super juice has changed how I stock my bar. I even used it to make your lime and mint cordial this spring which I used to batch mojitos for a party. What a hit! I also liked your follow up video with grapefruit super juice. This is still my favorite cocktail show on YouTube. The ideas and production quality are just the best. Keep doing what you're doing!
Nice recipe mr kevin
Happy new year🎉🎉
Thank you very much for highlighting the great quality of Colombian rum.
Saludos desde Colombia!
Great content as always. My NYE will include some of the recipes from the Boozy Hot Chocolate episode. Happy New Year, Kevin & team!
As great as Super Juice is, I think Super Syrup was the best for me this year. I love whiskey sours,. but hated that eggy smell if you sipped too long and the orange oil spritz faded. Plus I think the foam is actually better.
Rum & Champagner 👍🤤👍 I love it.
That old cuban looks amazing. Never thought to add mint to my champagne
Happy New Year guys!
Happy New Year Team Cocktail Time, you guys rock. Stay Classy. Thank You…
So many great episodes this year with insane production quality but I have to admit: super juice episode changed my cocktail game massively and so it's the one I remember most 🤗
