A simple, elegant, three ingredient frosting that you can use over and over again.

3 tablespoons champagne

Luckily I had the world’s smallest bottle of champagne on hand. I’m not sure where I got this, but since I don’t drink, it was just the right size for baking.

In an electric mixer, beat the butter and the powdered sugar til combined. Gradually add the champagne, more or less, as needed. Once combined, set the mixer to high and beat for about 1 minute. Pipe or spread on cakes or cupcakes!
