Servings: 1
Ingredients
- ½ ounce (15 ml) orange liqueur 1 tablespoon
- 1.5 ounces (45 ml) fresh orange juice 3 tablespoons
- 1 ounce (30 ml) 100% pure cranberry juice 2 tablespoons
- 2 ounces (60 ml) champagne
Garnish
- 1 sprig of rosemary
- 3-4 cranberries
- 1-2 orange slices
Instructions
- Chill the champagne and the cranberry juice ahead of time. Place them in the freezer 30 minutes prior to serving if you forgot to refrigerate them.
- Juice the oranges (1 orange provides a little more than 2 ounces of juice). Optionally strain the juice to remove the pulp.
- Add the orange liqueur, orange juice and cranberry juice to a champagne flute. Give it a stir.
- Top it off with champagne (or the sparkling wine of your choice).
- Garnish with a sprig of rosemary, fresh cranberries and orange slices.
Notes
- Choose a bottle of mid-range "brut" or "semi-brut" champagne or sparkling wine, such as Cava or Prosecco.
- You can substitute freshly pressed orange juice with bottled orange juice if you don't have time to juice oranges when your guests are there. I do recommend choosing a higher quality juice, preferably made of 100% fruit for this cocktail.
- To make this cocktail for a crowd, mix the orange liqueur, cranberry and orange juice in a large pitcher and place it in the refrigerator. Once it's time to serve, line up the flutes and fill them ⅔ to the top. Then, top them off with champagne.
