Pomegranate Champagne Cocktail
 
 
 
 
 
Pomegranate Champagne

Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cup chilled fresh Pomegranate juice (about 3 pomegranates)
  • 3 oz chilled Cointreau liqueur
  • 1 chilled bottled of Champagne or sparkling wine*
  • Fresh pomegranate seeds, for garnish
Directions
  1. In a pitcher, mix juice, liqueur, and sparkling wine*
  2. Pout into flutes, and garnish with pomegranate seeds
Serves 6

*Some great choices for inexpensive sparkling wine are dry Spanish Cavas like Freixenet, Cristalino, and Segura Vidas.  Another alternative are Italian Proseccos which are slightly sweeter in flavor such as Lunetta, Zonin, Villa Jolanda, and Col Vetoraze.  All of these options are reasonably priced and would be perfect for blending that Valentine's Day cocktail! Enjoy!
