Grapefruit Raspberry Sparkler Recipes

Steps:

• Pulse 1 cup raspberries and 1/2 cup each mint and sugar in a food processor. Let sit 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then strain through a fine mesh sieve. For each drink, combine 1/2 ounce each of the puree and orange-flavored vodka in a glass; top with sparkling white wine and garnish with raspberries.

Steps:

• For each drink, stir 3 ounces grapefruit juice, 2 ounces each cranberry juice and gin, and a splash each of Campari and lime juice in a shaker with ice. Strain into an ice-filled glass rimmed with salt. Top with seltzer; garnish with lime.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water with the sugar and star anise; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat; let cool completely.
• Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a measuring cup (to yield 1 cup); discard the star anise. Cover the syrup with plastic wrap, and chill.
• In a large pitcher, combine the grapefruit juice, Campari, and chilled syrup. Divide among 8 glasses; top with champagne. Serve immediately.
