Champagne Cocktail Sugar Cubes
Homemade Champagne Cocktail Sugar Cubes are infused with angostura bitters for an easy and unique party treat. Perfect for your Valentine!
A few years ago, I was having a party, and I wanted to have sugar cubes to serve alongside my coffee bar, because SO FANCY.
Only I couldn’t find sugar cubes, and Amazon Prime had not yet been invented. (I am 1 million years old).
So because I didn’t want my party planning to be a complete waste, I decided to make my own. The idea is pretty simple- sugar and water pressed together and left to dry out overnight.
Fast forward to 2016. Amazon Prime has been invented (praise be!), and I order this adorable heart-shaped silicone mold for no reason at all. One day as I was pretending to listen to my children talk about Minecraft, I thought these little hearts would make cute sugar cubes.
Only it was 20 minutes till date night, and I was also thinking about champagne. Homemade bitters-soaked sugar cubes for Valentine’s Day was born. As it turns out, I am not the first person in the history of the world to make angostura sugar cubes, but I may be the first person to make them positively adorable.
In my excitement, I forgot to add a twist of lemon to the cocktails. It was also 10:00 AM when I was shooting these, so that could have something to do with it.
Champagne Cocktail Sugar Cubes
What you’ll need:
- Angostura bitters
- Super-fine sugar
- Heart-shaped silicone mold
These Champagne Cocktail Sugar Cubes are, of course, perfect for Valentine’s Day, but I will certainly be enjoying them for date night all year and, of course, on New Year’s Eve!
Alternative to a heart-shaped mold:
If you don’t have the heart silicone mold, you can pour the sugar into a container of any sort. Just score the wet sugar into squares with a paring knife. When dry, the perforated cubes will break apart easily.

Store Champagne Cocktail Sugar Cubes in an air-tight container for up to one year.

I am dying to try your recipe for these adorable sugar cubes but I can’t seem to find the clickable link for the actual heart mold. Am I blind or just very slow this morning, lol?
Sometimes Amazon links don’t show up…? It’s something on their end, I’m sorry! Try looking for mini silicone heart molds. Also, Michael’s has them in stock starting around January.
