Champagne cocktails are a classy offering to your Holiday guests at cocktail hour.  The traditional champagne cocktail is made of a glass of bubbly, a sugar cube, and a dash of bitters.  One of my favorite versions, a French 75, is a combo of gin, champagne, lemon juice and sugar.  An Italian take on that version of a champagne cocktail, a Sicilian 75, is a superb and tart mixture of Prosecco, blood orange juice, Campari (blood orange liqueur), simple syrup, and gin.  A lovely coral-hued cocktail that would be welcomed addition to your Holiday party menus!
