An Oscar-Winning Champagne Cocktail

Here's a wonderful cocktail that someone came up with and christened the Kate Winslet. Fix a batch tonight in honor of her Oscar-winning performance in The Reader.


The Kate Winslet
Makes six cocktails.


2 tablespoons red currant jelly
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup London dry gin
1 bottle well-chilled Champagne or other sparkling wine


Heat the jelly and water in a small saucepan, whisking, until the jelly has dissolved. Stir in gin and chill until cold.


Divide gin mixture among six Champagne flutes, then top with Champagne.


Cheers!
