Cocktail of the Week -- Tail of the Dog Edition

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

So New Year's is over, and you have a couple of bottles of decent champagne left laying around. Or maybe your head is pounding, and you need a little of the tail of the dog that bit you. I have about 100 cocktail/punch recipes featuring champagne, so choosing one was difficult.

For no other reason than I like the name (and the drink features expensive French liqueur -- about $62 a bottle), I bring you Milk of Amnesia:

Ingredients

4-5 oz. champagne
1-2 jigger Chambord raspberry liqueur to taste

Instructions

Add ice cold champagne to glass, slowly add chilled Chambord until desired raspberry flavor is achieved, give it a gentle stir to mix.

This comment comes from the recipe's contributor:

This will taste like a delicious raspberry soda. Make sure you use a decent champagne, but don't waste your money on expensive stuff. However, I strongly recomend using Chambord. I know it hurts $$$ but the other (cheaper) brands never taste as good.

And with that, Happy New Year's, y'all.
