What is champagne and coke called?

Tom Hanks' Diet Cokagne Cocktail has been the talk of social media since he first mentioned it early this year. A bizarre blend of champagne and coca cola, it’s certainly worthy of the attention it's received. The Story Behind The Diet Cokagne First things first, we need to delve deeper into the story that led to this odd invention. According to Tom Hanks himself, he usually drinks a Diet Coke with dinner rather than an alcoholic tipple. Hanks says that any Coke will do, it certainly doesn’t have to be Coca-Cola. The only ‘must’ is it’s Diet. We advise mixing in the glass to blend the two ingredients properly, otherwise, your first sip will be a mouthful of Champagne. This definitely won’t be a cocktail for everyone, and we can’t say it’ll be on our repertoire of go-to drinks anytime soon, but it is worth tasting.

Tom Hanks described his 2-ingredient cocktail, which he dubbed "Diet Cokagne," on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. The cocktail is made with Diet Coke and Champagne, which taste like a super bubbly sparkling cider when combined. Adding a few drops of Fee Brothers West Indian Orange Bitters made me feel like I was drinking a sophisticated cocktail with a slight citrus edge. If Veuve is too much coin for your purse, Prosecco or another dry sparkling wine does just as well. But since the name of the game for this one is balancing sweetness, you gotta stick with Diet Coke or Coke Zero. Cherry Coke and regular Coke make the drink a syrupy dud. I could taste it: apple juice? Diet Coke and Champagne together taste like a boozy Martinelli's! I hate that I'm saying this, but this unlikely duo is shockingly refreshing. I now realize I am a double-bubbles person, and though I’m not always a fan of hard ciders with their tannic, acidic finish, I like the crisp, apple-like taste and zippy texture of Hanks’ Diet Cokeagne.
