Keep your sparkling wine cold until you're ready to make the drink. A well-chilled sparkling wine keeps the cocktail refreshing and helps preserve those lovely bubbles.

Place a generous tuft of cotton candy into a champagne flute, coupe, or other elegant glass. Don't pack it down. Keeping it fluffy makes the drink look more dramatic.

Slowly pour the chilled sparkling wine over the cotton candy. Watch as the fluffy candy begins disappearing almost immediately and colors the drink. There's no need to vigorously stir. Let the bubbles do most of the work.

If you're using edible glitter specifically labeled for food or beverages, add just a tiny pinch and gently swirl the drink. This can give the cocktail an extra shimmering effect.

Add a tiny tuft of fresh cotton candy to the rim right before serving. You can also add a strawberry, raspberry, or lemon twist for a pop of color. Serve immediately and enjoy the dramatic presentation while the drink is still beautifully bubbly.
