½cuporganic sugar

fresh cranberries
½cupgranulated sugar
For the Cranberry-Elderflower Champagne Sparkler

Instructions
For the Cranberry Syrup
In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together cranberry juice and sugar until dissolved. Raise heat and bring to a boil, then remove from heat, pour into a glass jar or bowl and let cool completely. Makes enough syrup for 8-10 drinks.
For the Sparkling Cranberry Skewers
Skewer about 5 cranberries onto a standard toothpick, then spritz very lightly with water -- too much and your sugar will get clumpy! Place about ½ cup granulated sugar in a shallow dish -- an individual tart dish is awesome -- then add cranberry skewers, tossing with a fork until completely coated in sugar. Remove with a fork and use as garnish.
For the Cranberry-Elderflower Champagne Sparkler
To make each cocktail, pour 1 ounce St. Germain and 1 ounce of cranberry syrup into a stemmed champagne glass. Top with about 4 ounces champagne per glass. Garnish with sparkling cranberry skewers and serve immediately.
