Make sure your grapes are washed well.
Place your grapes in a medium bowl and pour the champagne over them until they’re just covered.
2 cups Green Grapes, 1 Champagne
Cover and place in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
Place half of the sugar in a small bowl.
Remove the grapes from the fridge and using a slotted spoon, scoop them out, let them drain and place them in the sugar.
½ cup White Granulated Sugar
I only do about 10 grapes at a time, or less, when I toss them in the sugar. Get the grapes nice and coated before placing them on a plate, making sure not to pile them on top of each other.
When your sugar starts to get clumpy and doesn’t coat the grapes well, toss it and replace it with the remaining sugar.
Place in the freezer, once finished coating in sugar, and let freeze for 2 hours, or until frozen through.
Remove, serve, and enjoy!

Tips:

You do not have to freeze your sugar grapes. Of course they’re more fun frozen, but they can technically be served once they’re coated; it's just a personal preference. Plus, frozen grapes last longer when sitting out for parties.
When your sugar starts to get clumpy and doesn’t coat the grapes well, toss it and replace it with the remaining sugar.
You can make a non-alcoholic, kid-friendly version by swapping out the alcohol and using flavored seltzer, sparkling white grape juice, or soda as a substitute.
My Boozy Grapes are marinated in a mix of watermelon White Claw and vodka rather than champagne or sparkling wine so they’re filled with even more fruity flavor.
