Thirsty Thursday: Blood Orange Champagne Float

You know I like easy... That's what she said! Sorry, I couldn't help myself-- I'm going through The Office withdrawal.

But seriously. I do, I like when recipes are simple. Easy = quick, and when it comes to cocktails that just means you get to spend more time enjoying the cocktails with your friends than making the drinks themselves.

We had a great (cathartic!) ladies lunch last weekend. One of my dear, dear friends is moving to Southern California with her sweet family, so it was extra special to get to just sit around for a few hours, eat good food, drink great drinks and most importantly just get to talk! There is nothing more fun than just sitting around with my girlfriends like we did back in high school when we all first met!

Ingredients

Champagne, chilled
Blood Orange sorbet

Directions

Spoon a heaping spoonful of sorbet into each glass and top with chilled champagne. And, done!

SIDE NOTES:

*You could easily enjoy this same concoction with any flavor of sorbet that tickles your fancy. I contemplated picking up the peach or mango, but opted for blood orange knowing it would be a hit with the girls!

*If you're serving a larger crowd just spoon the entire container of sorbet into a punch bowl and top with a few bottles of champagne.
