First up for Twelve Early Days of Christmas is a super simple red currant champagne cocktail that’s pretty much perfect for anytime, but especially for the holidays. It takes maybe all of four seconds to make, and you can even pick and choose between red currant or grenadine if you want the color but aren’t so much for a tart currant. Choose between your favorite twist..

Ingredients:

• Your favorite champagne
• Frozen red currant champagne or a splash of grenadine and a frozen strawberry

Red currant puree isn’t exactly the easiest to come by at a traditional grocery store, so grenadine is an easy substitute for adding color and sweetness that you can still buy just about anywhere. Add a splash of either to a glass of champagne, and drop in a frozen strawberry and you’ve got cuteness and taste all in one simple drink.
