BAT Cocktail Du Jour
Part of: Brunch With Tiffany , Food , Slice of Life[Breakfast: a Trader Joe's frozen croissant left to proof over night. Green tea.]
I tested this cocktail over the holiday weekend and it got high scores. I wanted something that was seasonal and festive, but not too sweet. I couldn't find pear nectar anywhere, but regular pear juice was probably a better option anyway. You could use Prosseco or Sparkling Wine in lieu of Champagne.
Pomegranate Champagne Punch
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups pomegranate juice
1 cup pear nectar
1/4 cup orange-flavored liqueur, such as Grand Marnier
1 bottle (750 ml) Champagne
Directions
In a large pitcher, combine pomegranate juice, pear nectar, and orange-flavored liqueur. Slowly add Champagne. Serve over ice.

With pomegranate juice? I'm there as it provides me a buzz and health benefits =)

Wooo I had this too with steak and pepper-jack sliders. But they made it much too tart! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Last time I made the punch I switched around the portions of the pear and pomegranate juice and thought it worked better:
1 1/2 cups pear juice
1 cup pomegranate juice
