For this year’s Oscars, I wanted to share this gorgeous champagne cocktail – in addition to being a looker it’s got amazing flavor with a combination of the Hum spirit, fresh-squeezed sour mix, and brut Champagne, which makes for an exotic mix of cardamom, kaffir lime, and ginger flavors. This Red Carpet Glamour Cocktail recipe it’s a really flavorful, unexpectedly botanical cocktail and is definitely worth mixing up if you’re looking for something a bit more adventurous than the classic champagne cocktail.
