1 – 1.5 cups Chambord ($20.99/.375ml)
1/2 cup Lemon Juice
2 Bottles Duval Leroy Champagne ($29.74 on this weeks crazy deal!!)
Lemon twists
Frozen Raspberries (optional)
Mix together all ingredients except Champagne. Add ice to punch bowl (or pitcher) and add Champagne just before serving. Garnish Punch with Lemon Twists & Frozen Raspberries. Enjoy!
*This is my take on a classic “Paris is Burning” cocktail, You could add a traditional touch and use a lighter on the citrus peels for a second to release the oils before adding them to the punch.
HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!
