Midnight Sparkler Cocktail image

With its unique, deep blue color and effervescent charm, this Champagne cocktail is perfect for New Year's Eve or any other festive occasion. The subtle floral hints of crème de violette pair perfectly with the bright, seasonal citrus and your favorite gin. Leftover crème de violette can be stirred into glazes for pastry or used to macerate berries.

I'm not usually a fan of sweet cocktails, but this one is an exception. The blue curaçao and the grenadine add just the right amount of sweetness without being overpowering.

I love the combination of flavors in this cocktail. The sweetness of the pineapple juice and grenadine is perfectly balanced by the tartness of the lime juice.
