Cherry Lime Champagne Cocktail Recipe

Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

• 1 bottle of Prosecco or sparkling white wine
• 1 (10-ounce) can of whole cherries (not pie filling, but canned cherries)
• a few sprigs of fresh thyme
• lemon

Recipe Directions:

1. Drain the cherry juice into a saucepan.  Put the cherries in a jar for later.
2. Simmer the juice and thyme over low heat for about 5 minutes.  Take off the heat and let cool.
3. Pour the cooled juice over the cherries.
4. Put about 1 to 2 Tablespoons of the cherry juice in the bottom of a champagne glass.  Add one cherry to the glass.  Pour the Prosecco over the cherries.  Garnish with a small sprig of thyme.  Squeeze a bit of lemon juice in each glass.  Someone told me once, that lemon is to cocktails as salt is to food.  It enhances the flavor.  It really makes a difference here.
