1 oz Gin

1 oz Blood Orange Juice

1/2 oz Cointreau

4 Dashes of Peychaud's Bitters

Recipe: In a cocktail shaker with ice, pour gin, blood orange juice, and cointreau. Dash in peychauds bitters. Close and Shake until cold. Strain into a flute glass. Top with champagne. Garnish with a blood orange wedge.

This is a champage cocktail for the people that want to elevate the mimosa game. It's a combination of a traditional champagne cocktail and a mimosa. I like that it's a bit more complex. Blood orange juice adds a little more flavor and savoriness.
