Has anyone ever made ice cubes of champagne?

I'd like to make a champagne punch for easter and instead of adding plain old water ice cubes, i wanted to freeze the champagne thinking that as it melted, it would add to the punch. I also wanted to add an edible flower into each cube for a little flair?





so, will the frozen champagne cubes be good?


Do you have suggestions for the flowers?





Thanks.

whatever you add to the punch can be frozen , in a mold and cherries placed in the mold also. alcohol does not freeze.
Reply:you should make champagne jello instead, awesome
Reply:It doesn't work ...well, it works, but it's not good. =/ Don't waste your champagne. But, what is good is if you freeze like, pomegranate juice and put it in something...:)
Reply:Yes it very hard to do it's like making jell-o Put a heavy amount of champange an put a little sugar and water in it and it will freeze up no problem!!
Reply:champagne is fizzy right? well it wouldnt be if you froze it. i doubt it would really work.
Reply:Champagne has alcohol in it and alcohol dosen't freeze, although that does sound good!
Reply:Consider a punch bowl set in a larger bowl filled with ice to keep the punch cool, sorta like a reverse buffet warming dish. As for flowers, I'd go with lavender or lilac flowers(compliment champagne very well). Nasturtiums are also a pretty looking, edible flower if you can find them. I'm not sure I'd try to freeze flowers into the punch, they'll end up as a soggy wilted addition to the guests glasses. I'd shoot for a candied flower to garnish the glass rims, preferably a candied rose petal or other edible.

I suggest you freeze other punch ingredients instead (are you adding any fruit juices? Why not freeze them instead?


Also, as mentioned above, all the bubbles will be gone if you dilute with water and freeze it. So don't ruin your champaign, just freeze fruit juice.


And as for the flowers, I posted a link to the list of different ones, but I would just put one big flower in a punch bowl, not individual ones.
