Champagne Wednesday is, as you probably remember, our quick, easy to way to liven up the boring midweek with a bit of bubbly. We do this by buying the tiny, 187-ml bottles of sparkling wines that you can get at grocery stores and Whole Foods and making two little cocktails out of them.
This week’s cocktail was the D’Artagnan, a nice little mix of orange, Grand Marnier and sparkling wine. I’ve noticed that most champagne recipes have a citrus flair to them. I think next week we’ll try something entirely different, but this one was pretty good.
The D’Artagnan
Ingredients
- 1 tsp. brandy
- 1 tsp. Grand Marnier
- 3 tsp. orange juice
- 1/2 tsp. simple syrup
- 5 ounces sparkling wine
- Orange peel, cut into long thin strips
Instructions
- Mix the first four ingredients and let chill in a champagne flute for about 10-15 minutes. Just before serving, top with the champagne and garnish with orange peel.
