A little like the traditional kir royale, this tasty drop is surprisingly simple, and very moreish. Don’t worry about breaking the bank with real Champagne; this drink is delicious with cava or prosecco. Try swapping out the bubbles for lemonade for an alcohol-free option.
Ingredients:
- 750ml Champagne or sparkling wine
- 150ml red grape juice
- 30ml simple syrup
- 1cm ginger, peeled and grated
