How To Make cranberry champagne cocktail

• Step 1
  Make a cranberry orange syrup: Put the cranberries, orange juice, orange zest and sugar in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the cranberries break down and the liquid is slightly thickened to a syrup stage which should take about 10 to 15 minutes. Put the mixture into a blender and blend well. Caution: Hot liquids in a blender can be dangerous. Be sure to cover the top of the blender with a towel. Make a vent in the blender lid by loosening the center cap. Start slow then speed it up slowly. Strain and discard any solids and set aside to cool.
• Step 2
  Pour 2 tablespoons of this cranberry-orange syrup into the bottoms of 4 chilled champagne glasses. Add a few cranberries to each glass and gently top off each glass with Champagne and float a few more cranberries on top.
