The Cocktail of the Week is adapted from the revised edition of my Complete Book of Mixed Drinks (HarperCollins, 2002).

I am suggesting at least one featured spirit for each cocktail. These choices are based on my objective evaluation and are not paid advertisements. Enjoy!

X-Rated Princess

Champagne is a natural match with this vibrantly pink French liqueur with true tropical fruit flavors, racy acidity and edgy citrus notes; smooth, long and semi-sweet.

1 ounce X-Rated Fusion Liqueur
chilled Champagne

Pour the X-Rated Fusion Liqueur into a Champagne flute, then fill the glass with Champagne.
