There's a certain glamour to both cocktails and champagne, so it's no surprise that glamorous stars like Marilyn Monroe have come to be associated with champagne cocktails — and that some champagne cocktails have been named after stars, including Marilyn Monroe.

The Marilyn Monroe champagne cocktail is made from a base of champagne or sparkling wine, some apple brandy (or regular brandy and apple juice, if you have no apple brandy), and a dash of Grenadine syrup.

Southern-style cocktails tend to incorporate southern flavors and southern ingredients, creating cocktail that are a little bit out of the ordinary — and the Southern Belle Champagne Cocktail is no exception.

Combining Amaretto and Apricot Brandy with dry Champagne or sparkling wine, the Southern Belle is not your average Champagne Cocktail. This will be a good chance to get some of these ingredients for use in other cocktails as well, assuming you don't use them all up with champagne.

Nelson's Blood is a champagne cocktail created from an unexpected mixture of champagne and tawny port, two entirely different derivations from standard wine. Nelson's Blood is named after Horatio Nelson, a famous British naval officer during the late 18th century.

Admiral Horatio Nelson achieved some spectacular victories during the Napoleanic Wars, most notably the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 where he was killed. Nelson's Blood is a champagne cocktail unlike any other.

Nothing's better for beating the heat or relaxing after a hard day than a nice cold cocktail. Some of the best of these cocktails are made with champagne or sparkling wine, not just the spirits people usually use for cocktails.

The Champagne Cooler is a great champagne cocktail and it's simple to make because it only requires champagne or sparkling wine, some brandy, and a bit of any orange liqueur: Triple Sec, Cointreau, or Blue Curacao.

Blue Curaçao is a popular addition to champagnes and sparkling wines, with the most basic such cocktail being the Champagne Blues cocktail: a mixture of champagne, Blue Curaçao to taste, and a bit of lemon.

Blue Curaçao is made from a relative to the orange, so it has a flavor similar to oranges and is complimented by the addition of other citrus flavors such as lemon or an orange liqueur like Grand Marnier.
