A glass of sparkling wine, with its golden (or even pinkish) hue and tiny little bubbles traveling upwards? A sight to behold. But due to unprecedented demand, Champagne has started taking a price hike, as this recent article explains. While the piece does offer ways to cut corners on buying bubbly (including a list of lesser-known and lower-priced options), another way to stretch a bottle is to make sparkling wine cocktails. Just a small amount of the stuff (sometimes even just a splash) can add fizz and depth to fruit juices and other liqueurs. And before you know it, you've poured as many as 12 drinks out of just one Champagne bottle--and these cocktails are just as easy on the eyes as a glass of straight sparkling wine. Here are a few we love...

1. Cranberry Lemongrass Martini
2. Pineapple-Cucumber Mojitos
3. Pear Champagne Cocktail
4. Raspberry Champagne Cocktail
5. Peach Bellini
6. Hope Floats Cocktail
7. Pink Halo
