I’ve told you of my love for champagne and St. Germain.  Given the opportunity, I jump at the chance to concoct a cocktail.  Last night we coordinated a dine around for a large group – dinner for 16 at 5 homes with dessert at a central location.  We served this champagne cocktail and judging by how many were served at my home, it was a hit.

Make your Pomegranate Simple Syrup.

Add Pomegranate Simple Syrup and St. Germain to champagne flutes.

Top with Prosecco and Pomegranate Arils.

I hope you enjoy this is your sweetheart or sweetheart of a friend this weekend.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
