Rhubarb-Strawberry Champagne Cocktail
Serves 8
4 oz. Rhubarb mix
4 oz. Cointreau Champagne to top
(1 bottle 750ml) Rhubarb Mix:
2 stalks rhubarb
1/2 pint strawberries, washed with tops removed
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. sugar
Juice of fresh lime
 
Puree all ingredients except lime. Reduce liquid to 1/2 over heat. Add lime juice. Mix can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Can also be frozen. In a glass, pour a bit of the rhubarb mix, a splash of cointreau, and top with champagne. Garnish with strawberry.

Weddings and the surrounding celebrations simply call out for champagne. And this recipe certainly brings a modern colorful twist to a signature cocktail. The rhubarb-strawberry mix is easy to whip up in batches making it ideal for a big gathering. And with the vanilla and sugar balancing the tartness, it’s like a fruit salad before dinner or the perfect dessert complement. For flawless service, have the glasses ready with the mix in the bottom, and top with the champagne before serving.
