Cranberry Champagne Cocktail
A classic cocktail with bubbly champagne make for a sophisticated libation.
It’s that time of year when we pull out the bubbly to celebrate and make merry. This year I am in love with champagne cocktails to liven up the holidays. Even if it’s just two people having an intimate dinner, I think there is nothing more wondeful than to pop open a bottle of great champagne and toast to your health.
This cocktail is super simple. Just use cranberries or even frozen raspberries out, roll them in pasteurized egg white or a simple syrup, roll in superfine sugars and coat the rim of you glass with more sugar. Pour in a teaspoon of Chambord or Cassis and top off with champagne. It’s bright, a little tart and so festive. Let’s celebrate- good times are ahead!
Cheers!
