Glittering Ruby

Celebrate the New Year Wyoming Style!
We wanted to share our WYld Sip Faves for 2021 and here are two cocktail recipes to ring in the new year here in the Wyld West. We went for riffs on old classics utilizing two seasonal spirits: bourbon and sparkling wine.
Glittering Ruby
This cocktail is light and refreshing. It tastes like a spritzer but has the kick of a genuine liquor drink. "Strong enough for a man but made for a woman..."
Ingredients
2 oz citrus vodka
1 oz Grand Marnier
1 oz ruby red grapefruit juice
Brut champagne, dry Cava, or Prosecco
Grapefruit wedge and thyme sprigs (optional) for garnish
Instructions
Pour citrus vodka, grapefruit juice, and Grand Marnier into a cocktail shaker with cracked ice
Shake vigorously for 30 seconds
Pour into your favorite cocktail glass, only halfway, then top with sparkling wine
Garnish with a grapefruit wedge and sprig of thyme
