Champagne doesn't stay crisp for long after opening, but you can give it new life by turning it into a sweet syrup and adding it to any of your favorite cocktails.
To make this simple syrup for cocktails, combine equal parts cane sugar and some flat wine in a pot and heat on low, mixing slowly until you're left with a concentrated syrup.
If you prefer, you can also use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar, and don't be afraid to throw in spices or other infusions like fresh herbs and citrus.
Once the mixture reaches your desired texture, let it cool and strain it into a bottle. Now you've got a bottle of wine syrup to stick in the fridge, ready for cocktail hour.
