Blood Orange Champagne Cocktail

While sitting at the dentist yesterday I picked up their December 2007 copy of Bon Appétit. I must say Bon Appétit is a great magazine. I think I might just get a subscription for Leslie. Anyway, they had a recipe for a blood orange champagne cocktail. I think it will be our drink on Valentines Day. It's basically a mimosa, with the addition of créme de cassis, which is a black-currant liqueur.

Blood Orange Champagne Cocktail Ingredients
1/4 cup créme de cassis (black-currant liqueur)
1 1/2 cups strained fresh blood orange juice(from about 6 oranges)
1 750-ml bottle chilled brut Champagne
8 blood orange slices (optional)

Instructions
Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons of créme de cassis into each of 8 Champagne flutes. Add 3 tablespoons of blood orange juice to each up. Fill each glass with Champagne, then stir gently. Garnish cocktails with slices of blood orange, if desired.
