Happy New Year, everyone! This is a brief drive-by post of a drink recipe I became very fond of during my semester studying abroad in France last year; since it's champagne-based, it seemed appropriate to post for New Year's. I was first introduced to it about a year ago at a party there with a mix of French and American students, and the punch bowl was emptied in short order! That said, it's also a great summer drink– bubbly, light, and refreshing, with a bit of citrus tang.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup fresh-squeezed lime juice (about two-three limes)
1/2 cup Cointreau (chilled)
1/2 cup cane sugar syrup for drinks
1 bottle extra dry champagne (chilled)
Preparation:
1. For the sugar syrup, combine one part water to two parts sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil for about 5 minutes, then cool.
2. Chill all ingredients.
3. Combine ingredients and serve.
Note: This drink doesn't require good champagne to be good, but it works best with extra dry.
