I can't see without my glasses (of wine...)

"Compromises are for relationships, not wine." -- Sir Robert Scott

I don't know about you, but the first thing I think of when I have family visiting from out of town is Champagne Cocktails! So I whipped up this nice little drink for us to enjoy:

3/4 oz triple sec
1/2 oz simple syrup
3 + oz brut sparkling wine
1 slice of fresh peach

Shake triple sec and simple syrup with ice and pour in the bottom of a champagne flute. Pour in 3 or more ounces properly chilled brut sparkling wine - I used Canals and Nubiola Brut Cava - depending on the size of your flute. Drop in a slice of fresh peach for a fun, peach-citrusy cocktail!
