Give Your Mimosa A Kick In The Pants

Want to give your holiday brunch stand-by cocktail a new lease on life?   Tequila, Grand Marnier, grapefruit juice and champagne make up the Dove.  This was a much enjoyed drink at our holiday brunch and will be in my repertoire for a Texas themed New Year's Eve party.

.75 oz Tequila
.75 oz Grand Marnier
.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
1 oz Grapefruit Juice
Dash of Orange Bitters
Champagne

Most Popular Drink Of The Holiday Season

The most popular drink of the holiday season - at least at the dinner parties we threw - was the French Blond. It was the cocktail of choice at both dinner parties and holiday brunch, and will be a perfect addition to any New Year's Eve drink menu.

2oz White Lillet
1 oz Gin
2 oz Fresh Grapefruit Juice
.5 oz St. Germain
