Berry Little Cocktail
Martha and Blueprint editor Sara Humphreys prepare a bright and bubbly Champagne cocktail.
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, dissolve sugar into 1 1/2 cups water. Add cranberries and simmer until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Strain, discarding liquid, and place cranberries on a baking sheet. Transfer baking sheet to freezer and chill at least 2 hours.
Mix together vodka, Champagne, cranberry, and currant juice in a Champagne glass. Garnish with a skewer of 4 or 5 frozen cranberries. Reserve remaining cranberries for another drink.
This cocktail was the hit of our ornament/cookie exchange this evening! It is beautiful .... and delicious!
