Step 1: Choose Your Bubbly

Since we are picking the perfect champagne for popping, I recommend choosing a cheap champagne with a cork top. With the way we are going to get that extra large POP, you are going to be spraying the majority of the bottle, so save the expensive bottle for toasting afterwards! This $20 bottle will do wonders, because it's about the pop, not so much the quality! Also, if this is your first time popping a champagne, I recommend getting two bottles, just in case you need to give it a second go!

Step 2: Don't Keep Cool - Shake It!

For the largest pop, you will NOT want to refrigerate your champagne! I recommend keeping it at room temperatures, so it is extra fizzy. Before you're ready to pop it, give it a very good shake (at least 30 seconds) before removing the cage over the cork. This step is crucial for that explosive fizz, so make sure you give it a really good shake, then remove the cage!

Step 3: Plan Your Pose

Decide on your pose in advance, even if it is in those last moments of shaking the bottle and removing the cage! The champagne pop goes quickly and can be very exciting, so planning your pose in advance will have you ready for the pop, so you can make the most of the fleeting moment.

*If a windy day, also consider which way the wind is blowing when choosing your pose, so the spray doesn't come back to cover you!
