Grand Marnier

Orange Coeurs à la Crème with Strawberry Raspberry Sauce

You can find the Neufchâtel cheese called for here next to the cream cheese at your supermarket. Don't be alarmed by the holes in your coeur à la crème molds — they allow liquid to drain out of the bottom so the hearts will be firm enough to hold their shape.

Kumquat Champagne Cocktail

Sweet and tangy kumquats make this sparkling cocktail extra special.

Cosmopolitan Champagne Cocktail

We thought we would update the popular Cosmopolitan by substituting Champagne for the usual lemon vodka. We garnished the drinks with skewers of sugar-coated fresh cranberries (thawed frozen ones will work just fine, too).

Triple-Berry Margaritas

For extra-slushy Margaritas, freeze the drinks in the blender jar at least thirty minutes and up to one hour; stir, if necessary, before serving. Instead of using salt, coat the glass rims with superfine sugar: Run a lime wedge along the rims to moisten, then dip them into a shallow saucer of sugar.

Grapefruit Coolers

Adding salt to this cocktail really cuts any bitterness in the grapefruit juice.

Tangerine Mimosas

Grand Marnier adds a little kick to this variation on the classic Champagne cocktail.

Cranberry-Orange Cape Cod

If you're expecting a crowd, mix up a pitcher of these drinks ahead of time and refrigerate. Pour over ice and garnish with lime wedges just before serving.

Café Brulot

A New Orleans specialty that combines dark coffee with brandy, citrus and spices, this gets its name from the French words for coffee and burnt brandy. We've added a couple of twists, spiking it with Grand Marnier and topping it with whipped cream.

Napoleon Champagne Cocktail

This variation on the traditional champagne cocktail is spiked with some Cognac and Grand Marnier.
