Notes
For these New Year's Eve Sparkling Gold Champagne Cocktails, I used Goldschläger liquor which does have a very small amount of real gold on it! It is measured to be about 13mg of gold in a 1-liter bottle, which, according to Wikipedia, is worth about $0.52. There are also other brands with real gold flakes; feel free to use those too.
Fun fact: Edible gold leaf is made from 22-carat, 23-carat, or 24-carat gold and silver alloy and is used in drinks, to decorate cakes, and for fancy desserts.
Gold Simmer Sugar is easy to find in cake decorating sections of craft stores or online. I found mine at HomeGoods! No, it isn't real gold, but it's fun to use!
