Grape Sparklers

• 4 pounds red grapes, stemmed
• One 750-milliliter bottle dry sparkling wine, such as Prosecco, chilled
• 8 mint sprigs
• Thinly slice 1 cup of the grapes and refrigerate. In a food processor, coarsely chop the remaining grapes in batches. Transfer the chopped grapes to a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook until the grapes have released most of their juice, 5 minutes.
• Working in batches, strain the grape juice into a bowl, pressing hard on the solids. You should have about 3 1/2 cups of juice; refrigerate until cold.
• Divide the sliced grapes equally among 8 Champagne flutes. Pour the chilled fresh grape juice into the flutes and top with the sparkling wine. Garnish each drink with a mint sprig and serve right away.

Lychee Martinis

• 2 whole canned lychees, plus 1/2 cup drained syrup
• 1/2 cup gin
• Place 1 lychee in each of two martini glasses. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in gin and reserved lychee syrup. Shake well; strain into glasses. Serve immediately.

Vodka-Espresso Cocktail

• 1 ounce(s) premium vodka (or tequila, if you prefer)
• 1ounce(s) cold espresso
• 1/2 ounce(s) Tia Maria
• 1/2 ounce(s) Kahlúa Especial
• To prepare drink: Pour ingredients into a shaker filled with ice. Shake and strain into a martini glass (or three shot glasses).
• To serve (optional): Rub the pith of an orange along the rim of each glass. Dip rim into cocoa powder spiked with a dash of cayenne pepper; tap glass to remove excess. Pour drink.

Lemon Rosé Bellini

• 1 spoonful lemon sorbet, softened
• 1/2 ounce citrus vodka (optional, for a stronger drink)
• 4 ounces rosé champagne
• 2 to 3 raspberries, for garnish
• Combine the sorbet with the vodka in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously. Add the champagne and stir. Strain into a chilled champagne flute and garnish with floating raspberries.

Mesgugana Macaroon

• 1 1/2 ounces coconut rum

• 1 1/2 ounces coconut creme
• Splash vanilla extract
• Ice
• Combine the vodka, rum, coconut creme, egg white, vanilla extract, and ice together in a cocktail shaker and shake to incorporate.
• Place the chocolate sauce in a plate. Rim the glass in the chocolate sauce and garnish with the macaroon cookie.

Orange Cream Mimosa

• 2 1/2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice (5 to 6 oranges)
• 1 orange, zested
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 1 cup superfine sugar
• 1 bottle sparkling wine or Champagne
• Strawberries, for garnish
• *Non-alcoholic sparkling wine, sparkling cider, or ginger ale can be substituted
• Put orange juice, zest, half-and-half, and sugar into a blender and process until the sugar has dissolved, about 30 seconds. Pour this mixture into a shallow pan and freeze until hard, 4 hours or overnight.
• Remove the frozen orange mixture from the freezer and let it sit to soften slightly, about 10 minutes. With a scoop or tablespoon, scrape out a small scoop and put it into a Champagne glass. Slowly fill the glass with Champagne and serve garnished with strawberries.
