Classic Champagne Cocktail
The Classic Champagne Cocktail, perfect for this time of year when we’re all about traditions. Use a nice, light, fruity Cognac so as not to overwhelm things.
Ingredients:
Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut to top
A few dashes of Angostura Bitters
A sugar cube
An orange twist to garnish.
Method:
Place the sugar cube on a small dish and drizzle with the Angostura Bitters. Make sure it’s fully coated then drop the cube into a Champagne flute or goblet and add the Cognac. Slowly pour over the Champagne and twist the orange peel over to express the oils, then loop around the stem of the glass to garnish.

Mijenta Blanco Tequila New Beginnings
A tasty Tequila-based serve that involves a bit of creativity but rewards you with class and charm. Look how pretty it is too.
Ingredients:
35ml Mijenta Blanco Tequila infused with lemon verbena*
15ml (truffle) honey syrup
15ml lemon juice
Prosecco to top.
A slice of dehydrated pear to garnish.
*For lemon verbena-infused Tequila:
A bottle of Mijenta Blanco Tequila
Fresh lemon verbena leaves
Method:
To make the lemon verbena-infused Tequila: Rinse the lemon verbena leaves under cold water to clean and pat gently clean with a dry towel, then clean and steralize a glass container or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Place the dried lemon verbena leaves in. Around 3-4 leaves per 250ml of Tequila is about right but you can adjust to taste. Pour in the Mijenta Blanco Tequila (keep the bottle!) and ensure the leaves are fully submerged then tightly seal the container. Allow the Tequila to infuse for about 24 to 48 hours, depending on how strong you want the lemon verbena flavour, once it tastes right to you then strain out the lemon verbena leaves using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth and transfer the infused Tequila back into its bottle and enjoy.
To make the Mijenta Blanco Tequila New Beginnings: Shake all ingredients, except Prosecco, over ice and strain into a flute glass. Top with Prosecco and garnish with a slice of dehydrated pear.

Coat the rim of a Champagne flute with sugar. Pour Axia and elderflower liqueur into the flute and top with Prosecco. Garnish with three sugar-coated cranberries.
