Name: CHAMPAGNE FRAPPE

This classic bartending technique transforms a standard bottle of Champagne into an ultra-chilled, refreshing delight perfect for celebratory toasts. By utilizing a traditional freezing mixture of crushed ice and salt, the wine is rapidly cooled to the verge of freezing, enhancing its crispness and effervescence. The result is an exceptionally cold, invigorating beverage that elevates the drinking experience on warm evenings or special occasions.

Ingredients

1 bottle Champagne (Standard 750ml bottle.)
8 cups Crushed ice (Originally 'fine Ice'. Quantity estimated to fill a standard champagne bucket.)
1 cup Rock salt (or coarse salt) (Originally 'Salt'. Rock salt is preferred for freezing mixtures. Quantity estimated.)

Instructions

1Place the bottle of Champagne into a champagne cooler or large metal bucket.
2Pack the space around the bottle tightly with a mixture of the crushed ice and rock salt. Ensure the ice mixture reaches up to the neck of the bottle.
3Rapidly twirl or spin the bottle back and forth within the ice mixture by the neck. Continue this motion for about 10 to 15 minutes until the bottle is extremely cold and the contents are on the verge of freezing.
4Remove the bottle from the ice, wipe it dry with a cloth, and serve immediately while icy cold.
