Day 1: Cranberry Champagne cocktail

 

  • juice of half a lime
  • 1 oz cranberry juice
  • top with champagne and lime twist

For the longest time I thought that the cranberry juice variation of a Mimosa was called a Poinsettia, but there are multiple recipes for Poinsettias online that include things like vodka and orange liqueur. I wonder if that is a regional difference.

I wanted to start with something that might help you use up any leftover champagne from the previous night’s festivities before it gets too flat. This time I wanted to try a little something different than my typical cranberry and champers drink by adding a little lime. I really, really like limes, as you will probably begin to notice. I used a really dry, true champagne this time, which is unusual for me. I think it worked well with the double tart fruits.

    1. I hope so! Having a really nice camera definitely helps a lot, though I probably won’t be able to stage every shot differently. I’ll just have to make sure my workspace is kept tidy.
