Quick Breakdown: Wine Cocktails

After learning more about the Bellini, I wanted to learn more about other sparkling wine/champagne cocktails out there. And boy did I...
There are about 4 or so groups of sparkling wine cocktail types out there.

Bellini belongs to a group of cocktails where juices or purees are mixed with sparkling wine. Dashes of lemon juice helps keep the juice from browning and oxidizing.

A sister cocktail is made of liquor mixed with juices and then topped by sparkling wine.

Spirits and sparkling wine can be combined like brandy.

Lastly you can try mixing liquors and liqueurs with juice/syrup and then top it off with sparkling wine.

Take a look at your bar/cupboard/pantry and see what you got--any good combinations?
