Citrus Champagne Punch Grapefruit juice Nantucket Nectars orange juice 1 Tbspsimple syrup 1 bottle Sparkling Wine or Prosecco (try La Marca or Domaine Ste Michelle Brut) Grenadine

Pour a splash each of grapefruit juice and orange juice into a champagne glass. Add simple syrup and stir to combine. Top with sparkling wine nearly to the top of the glass. Tilt glass at an angle and drop a small amount of grenadine down the side of the glass to allow for the grenadine to sink to the bottom and create a layered look. (Otherwise, if you want it mixed together, add before the sparkling wine – stirring sparkling wine will reduce the bubbles.)
