Alabama Sunset

The labor that goes into gathering berries somehow makes them seem all the sweeter. The name of this cocktail comes from the lovely sunset tones created when the blackberries are muddled with sugar and brandy and then strained into a glass of Champagne.

  • 1/2 cup ripe blackberries
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 ounce brandy
  • 8 ounces Champagne
1. With a wooden pestle or spoon, crush the blackberries with the sugar in a cocktail shaker. Let sit for a few minutes.
 2. Add the brandy and strain into two Champagne flutes. Top each with 4 ounces of the Champagne. Yield: 2 cocktails
