4oz champagne, Clementine peel, for garnish.

The Champagne cocktail, an instant mood lightener, was the
official drink of the "bright young things" who flitted through
the novels of Evelyn Waugh. In this version, a scoop of sorbet takes
the place of the traditional sugar and bitters and
turns this classic into a delicious holiday slush
Sorbet and Champagne Cocktail

chilled champagne or Prosecco
Directions:
1. Scoop sorbet into a champagne flute. Fill with chilled Champagne or Prosecco; stir. and enjoy!
