Blood Orange Champagne Cocktail

Friday, February 8, 2013


With citrus in season, last week's bottle of crème de cassis on the shelf and the flu sweeping the nation, there's never been a better time to add a little Vitamin C to your Sunday brunch!


Blood Orange Champagne Cocktail 

1/4 oz crème de cassis
1/2 oz freshly squeeze blood orange juice
Champagne or sparkling wine 

Pour crème de cassis in a flute, then add blood orange juice and stir. Top with Champagne. 


Notes: As usual, I'd recommend investing in a good bottle of cassis and a budget-friendly sparkler; you're mixing it with orange juice, after all! Whether you're sipping on this tart tipple tonight or with brunch on Sunday, I hope you'll enjoy it–cheers!
