Champagne Cosmo - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups cranberry juice, chilled
1/2 cup Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur
1 None lime
1/4 cup lime juice
6 cups sparkling white wine or Champagne, chilled

Preparation

Combine the cranberry juice, Grand Marnier and lime juice in a large pitcher.
Cut the lime peel into 8 long 1/5 inch-wide strips. Hold a strip of lime peel over a champagne flute and tie into a knot to release the essential oils. Place in the glass. Repeat with remaining lime strips.
Divide the cranberry juice mixture among the champagne flutes. Top with sparkling wine and serve immediately.
