Divine Summer Cocktail Recipe!

Just add sunshine!

Ok, so we modified the "Fruit Champagne" recipe from The Bartender's Guide to suit what we had on hand, and the results were AMAZING!

6 oz hand-squeezed grapefruit juice
2-1/4 oz blackberry brandy {We used a luscious blackberry liqueur from Brandy Peak Distillery in Brookings, Oregon}.
1 oz cognac
Champagne for topping up {We used Kramer sparkling "Celebrate!" muller-thurgau from the Yamhill-Carlton region of Oregon}.

Shake the grapefruit juice, brandy, and cognac over ice in a shaker and strain into a champagne glass. Top up with sparkling wine. Enjoy! Preferably outside!!!
