Recipe FAQs and Variations
Is champagne sweet or dry?
Most brut champagnes are dry. There are some champagnes that are a bit sweeter – look for “doux” on the label.

An average 750mL bottle of champagne will equate to 5 full pours. You should be able to make 5-7 orange sherbet champagne floats with one bottle of champagne.
Can I use Moscato or Prosecco?
Yes, you can swap in Moscato, Prosecco, Rosé, or another sparkling wine, if preferred. The sweeter the sparkling wine, the sweeter your float will be.
