        <content>We are planning a bridesmaids brunch that is going to be a trolley ride.  We are providing boxed lunches and were trying to figure out an easy way to serve some type of champagne cocktail (preferably mimosas).  I was wondering if any folks out there know of a good cocktail that is individually bottled?  Thanks in advance.</content>

      <content>Why not do a champagne cocktail? Buy individual bottles or cans of champagne, bring a plastic container of sugar cubes, douse them with bitters and hand them out.</content>

      <content>POP from Champagne Pommery (France), in cool little blue bottles. My recommendation.
Both regular and Ros&#233;.

Sofia "Mini" sparkling wine, from Niebaum-Coppola, in pink cans. Blanc de Blancs.

These would work without making a cocktail, and are easily packed into boxed lunches
just before they're passed out (keep chilled beforehand). 

These aren't my favorite bubblies, but may work very well for your needs.</content>

      <content>Whole Foods sells splits of decent Prosecco in a 4 pack for about $12 - I forget the name, but I think it's one of their private label brands.  </content>

      <content>Nicolas Feuillatte is my favorite maker of splits.  They have a Ros&#233; and a Brut.  They're both solid, particularly the Ros&#233;.</content>
