SERVES 10 TO 12 - HANDS-ON 20 MINUTES
TOTAL 2 HOURS, 20 MINUTES, INCLUDING 2 HOURS CHILLING
Ingredients
2 cups freshly squeezed grapefruit juice (from about 4 grapefruits)
Superfine sugar (optional)
1⁄2 cup St-Germain (elderflower liqueur)
1⁄4 cup Campari
1 (750-milliliter) bottle chilled Champagne (or sparkling wine)
Instructions
Combine the grapefruit juice, St-Germain, and Campari I a large pitcher. Cover and chill until cold, about 2 hours.
If desired, rub the rims of coupe glasses or Champagne flutes with a wedge of grapefruit. Invert each glass in a shallow bowl, just a bit wider than the diameter of the glasses, filled with a thin layer of superfine sugar. Gently twist the glasses to coat the dampened rims in sugar.
Divide the chilled grapefruit mixture among coupe glasses or flutes, and top with the chilled Champagne.
