I saw this last wk. on t.v. and have also saved this festive recipe but I have a question Can I use 'bubbly' soda pop instead of champagne? Such as a lemon/lime soda or even ginger ale? A few tee-totalers I'll be serving would not like champagne in anything I make. Can't wait to try this recipe, only in a non-alcoholic version please. Thanks!

Hello! Gold sugar crystals/sprinkles can be found in craft stores, such as Michaels and Hobby Lobby, or wherever cake decorating supplies are sold. You can also use sprinkles in a different color, if you have a hard time finding them.

I made this for work for our New Years Eve party, and everyone ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! I work in an ED under a lot of stress and the little bit of alcohol helped us get through a night of ETOH's.
