DIRECTIONS:
- Start with a solid table for your tower’s base.
- Build a sturdy base with festive tumbler-style glassware and top with a mix of crystal and metallic rimmed glasses (test them out in advance to make sure they will balance).
- Start off with 10 glasses, for example, in a square at the bottom.
- The next level is nine glasses, then eight, and so on.
- Make sure each glass touches its neighboring glasses. You will see a diamond shape made between the glasses if done correctly.
- Once the tower is assembled, slowly pour the sparkling wine from the top glass and it will trickle downward.
- Invite everyone to take a glass and join in a group toast! Instead of leading the toast, you can also start "toasting roulette" catching guests by surprise for an impromptu toasting session near the tower. Put everyone’s name in a hat, and whoever is pulled has to give a toast! As a bonus, the sparkling wine will not be wasted or sit too long.
