- Ice cubes
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz vodka
- 0.5 oz blue curaçao
- 2 oz cranberry juice
- 2 oz sparkling wine or champagne well-chilled
- ice cubes for shaking
- lemon twist or cherry optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add vodka, blue curaçao, and cranberry juice.

Notes
Pour the sparkling wine slowly to preserve bubbles. Use a drier brut to keep the drink from getting too sweet; add a touch more cranberry juice if you prefer deeper color and tartness.
