1 1/4 cups cranberry juice cocktail
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons superfine granulated sugar
4 cups chilled Champagne or other sparkling wine
Garnish:
Skewers
fresh or frozen cranberries
Stir together Cointreau, juices, and sugar and chill, covered, 2 to 6 hours. Just before serving, divide among 10 Champagne flutes and top off with Champagne.
Garnish the drinks with skewers of sugar-coated fresh cranberries (thawed frozen ones will work just fine, too).
Makes: 10 drinks
