New Year's Champagne Cocktail: Nutella Champagne Shooter
Here's another New Year's Eve Champagne cocktail. Want more? Drink up!
Before the New Year's resolutions commence, take time to indulge in some naughtiness. For me, nothing is as naughty as Nutella, which I eat with a spoon, straight from the jar. No need to mess around. This Champagne shooter is a small liquorish tribute to my sweet indulgence: chocolate and hazelnut liqueurs tempered with the bright-eyed, winking sparkle of Champagne.

I'm curious if this would work with a more generic cream de cacao... I'd hate to spend the money on a bottle of Godiva chocolate liquor - I'll simply never use it.
Frangelico is also expensive but... it's delicious and I'll use it all the time. :)

Fantastic, I got a tiny bottle of this Godiva in my stocking. Must try.

Oh, Jesus Christ. I love you guys but who offers a cocktail recipe with measurements in teaspoons?! Seriously...

Well, I went ahead and tried it. I did use alternative chocolate and hazelnut liquors and didn't terribly like it. Too sweet, and a bit more tootsie roll than nutella.
Not horrible.. and perhaps my fault for not using the proper ingredients.

Maybe if you ditched the sugar on the rim? I'd also be interested in finding out if cava could be used to replace the champagne.
