Cocktail of the Month: The Capricorn


Here's a delicious way to enjoy Champagne - in a flute crowned with citrus-laced sugar. For the main ingredient, use an affordable bubbly. Dry and floral, La Caravelle Rosé is a new addition to the line crafted by the former owners of the legendary New York restaurant. Serve this drink to ring in the New Year with a sweet and sparkling toast or anytime you want to have a special celebration!

2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons finely grated kumquat zest, plus 1 kumquat slice
