Year End Champagne Drink

Colorful Salute to the New Year

Cranberry Champagne Cocktail

Heres a great adaption of the traditional glass of champagne to bring in the New Year. Not only tasty, it's a colorful departure from tradition.

• 1 -ounce cranberry juice (sweetened)
• 1 wedge lime
• Champagne or sparkling wine
• Cranberries (frozen)

In a chilled Champagne flute add cranberry juice and a squeeze of lime. Top off the glass with Champagne. Garnish with 3 or 4 cranberries.

This is one of my favorite ways to convert Champagne into a delightful holiday drink. It adds just a tad of sweetness and color. Feel free to adapt this. Substitute a cube of sugar instead of the cranberries. No lime wedge? Use an orange slice. It's your party. You make the rules!
