Cosmopolitan Champagne Cocktail

Here is one of my favourite New Year’s Eve cocktails, not too sweet, beautiful colour and festive with the cranberries! Also, I adore that it is mostly made ahead, so there is no messing about when your guests are arriving!

Fizzy, boozy goodness... Happy New Year!

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups Cointreau or Grand Marnier
• 1 1/4 cups cranberry juice cocktail
