If you prefer slightly sweeter cocktails, consider adding a dash of simple syrup to the cocktail. One 750ml bottle of champagne will serve 10 to 12 people.

1/2 ounce triple sec, Cointreau, or Grand Marnier
1/2 ounce cranberry juice cocktail
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
Dash simple syrup or agave, as needed
2 ounces chilled dry champagne or sparkling wine
Directions

2Pour into a chilled martini glass, then top it with champagne or sparkling wine.
Adam and Joanne's Tips
- Make for a crowd: Add the vodka mixture to a large pitcher for the number of cocktails you plan to serve, but leave out the champagne. Stir and refrigerate until cold. When ready to serve, divide between glasses and finish with chilled champagne.
