While I love Champagne in its purest form, poured from a frosty bottle into my ever refillable flute, I also enjoy a gala Champagne concoction.

Raspberry and Champagne Aperitif
1/4 cup frozen unsweetened whole raspberries
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
2 teaspoons cassis liqueur
3/4 cup chilled Champagne

Place the raspberries, Grand Marnier, cassis and Champagne in a blender and whizz until well combined and smooth. Pour into a tall flute and serve at once. If you wish to be fastidiously elegant, you may strain the drink through a small strainer to remove raspberry seeds. Personally I am rarely that patient. Makes 1 aperitif.
