Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your day is warmed by glowing embers and the embrace of family and friends. Eat well and enjoy the comforts of this special day. Know that I count you among my blessings. Thank you for a wonderful year.
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I love to serve this elegant cocktail for special breakfasts or brunch during the holiday season. It's simple to make and the Champagne lends a festive air to a morning celebration. Ginger ale can be used to fashion a similar drink for any children at the table. Bubbles will be more pronounced if you serve the cocktail in a Champagne flute and add the wine just before serving the drinks. Any good sparkling white wine can substitute for the Champagne.

That does look like the perfect holiday cocktail! So colourful and festive, and thankfully does not contain any actual poinsettia!

Mary, I thought of you yesterday while making some cranberry sauce, preparing our corn bread stuffing and rolling out the pie shells... ;) what a delight to have recently found your site. Now I am thinking of that carcass for some Portuguese soup!
From our family to yours... have a blessed Thanksgiving! Diana
Mary,
I have jotted this recipe down for us to have with our brunch on Christmas Day.
Usually we drink bucks fizz with that meal but this year I'll be ringing the changes with this delish cocktail.

Happy Thanksgiving, Mary, and I too feel thankful that I've gotten to know you! This drink is very much like a French Kir but I would so much rather drink it with cranberry juice like you make it! Cheers!
