BUBBLY ON A TIGHT BUDGET : THE HUMBLE AND FRUGAL MOCK-CHAMPAGNE

Champagne is a festive drink and figure friendly with only 110 calories per 7 ounce, but it can be pricey.

A better option: a sparkling wine. Sparkling wine is really just like champagne but not given the license to be called champagne because it isn't from the region, Champagne!

POMEGRANATE FIZZ
Add 3 ounces of pomegranate juice to a champagne flute, then fill glass with sparkling wine. Top with a few pomegranate seeds.

OK, we dare you to tell us that does not impress.
