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.

How many glasses of champagne in a bottle?

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.

Can I make a large batch of this recipe?

Yes! Instead of individual servings, you can add the champagne, orange sherbet, and orange slices to a large punch bowl and serve.
