CRANBERRY KIR ROYALE

Cranberry Kir Royale

INGREDIENTS

  • cups frozen cranberries, plus 1/2 cup for garnish
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • tablespoons orange juice
  • teaspoon orange zest
  • bottle Champagne









DIRECTIONS

Add cranberries, orange juice, zest and sugar to a large pan and set over medium heat until berries break-down slightly and liquid is syrupy, 12 to 15 minutes. *Pour into a blender and process, be careful of the hot liquid expanding when you blend - use a towel over the top of the blender. 

Strain and discard any solids then set aside and cool. 
Pour 2 tablespoons of cranberry-orange syrup into the bottoms of 4 chilled champagne glasses. Add a few cranberries to each glass and gently top off each glass with Champagne. 

*When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth
