Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 bottle dry champagne (I used an inexpensive bottle of Andre Extra Dry)
Instructions
- 1
Combine water and sugar in a medium-sized saucepan and place on stovetop over medium heat. Stir frequently until the sugar is dissolved.
- 2
Remove from heat and stir in champagne. Stir until combined.
- 3
Pour mixture into a 9x13 pan (or other deep dish).
- 4
Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the freezer.
- 5
Chill for two hours, then use a pair of forks to stir/flake the mixture. Re-cover and return to freezer for at least another 2-3 hours, periodically stirring/flaking the mixture again.

Once mixture is frozen through it should still have a flaky/almost snowball-like consistency. Break it up with a fork and serve.
