How can you not love a drink that combines two of our fave classic cocktails – Cosmopolitans and champagne! We like to think of it as Carrie Bradshaw meets Heather Dubrow of The Real Housewives of Orange County (girlfriend loves her champagne!).

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups Cointreau or Grand Marnier
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
