Ingredients:
ice (in block form if possible, if not, large chunks) |
4 oz. cointreau |
4 oz. brandy |
2 oranges, cut into wedges |
1 cup frozen cranberries (optional) |
2 bottles chilled champagne |
Directions:
1. Add ice to a large punch bowl. If using chunks (as opposed to a large block of ice), fill the bowl just under half way. Add Cointreau and brandy. Using a ladle or long spoon, stir briefly. Add orange slices and cranberries (if using) and then pour in the champagne. Stir 12 times and let sit for a minute, so the ingredients can get acquainted.
2. This orange-flavored Christmas Punch is featured in Good Spirits: Recipes, Revelations, Refreshments and Romance, Shaken and Served with a Twist (Harvard Common Press, 2007) by A.J. Rathbun, senior editor for 's kitchen department. It's an old family favorite, he says.
