No Champagne for
a celebration; or at least not the usual way. We are in the mood to celebrate
an event with another spirit.
How about a cocktail called the CHAMPS-ELYSEES?
a Champagne flute pour 2 cl of Cointreau, 2 cl of strawberry liqueur and fill the flute up with champagne. Toss and taste and be merry.
This is just one of the cocktail recipes with Cointreau.
