How to build a champagne tower for your New Year’s party!

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO BUILDING A CHAMPAGNE TOWER

• The trick to a magnificent champagne tower is to use as many champagne glasses as possible! It is important that the glasses are round coupe glasses and are all the same height so that the tower stands firmly.
• Build your champagne tower on a base that is stable and resistant to spills. Here, The Loop mirror from House Doctor was used, which reflected the glasses beautifully, but you can also use a tray.
• A champagne tower is built by creating different layers with a larger layer on the base and then gradually reducing the number of glasses in each proceeding layer. Stack the glasses tightly so you get a diamond-shaped opening between the top of the glasses on the first layer. Then continue to build the next layer by placing the glasses in the middle of the diamond-shaped opening. This tower consists of 12 glasses at the bottom, followed by the structure 7-3-1 but you can of course make the tower larger or smaller.
• Keep building until you have the last glass left that can sit on top! Then gather everyone around the table before you start filling the glasses - no one wants to miss this!
