Rules of the Game

Hi team.

Welcome to the Hansen Family Foodie Blog! Here are the rules. You can only post ONE recipe per week so make it your best of the week. We might change the rules later - but let's see how this goes.

Sally and I are sitting at the Portland Airport, drinking breve's and posting our first recipe - aren't we ubber hip.

Pom Cocktail
1 c. pomegranate juice
1 tbsp. sugar
1 slice fresh ginger root - 1/4" thick

4 tbsp. orange juice
1 tsp. Cointreau or other orange liqueur (I agree - this doesn't seem like enough)
1 750-ml bottle brut Champagne, well chilled

Boil first three ingredients in heavy saucepan until syrup is reduced to 1/3 cup, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Cool. Pour 4 teaspoons of this syrup, 1 tbsp. orange juice and 1/4 tsp. Cointreau into each of four 6-ounce Champagne flutes and fill with Champagne.

ENJOY!

If you make any adjustments to the recipes that improve the dish - you can post them as a comment... or if you find a fabulous wine to go with the dish... or if you serve it with the perfect side dish.

does ubber hip mean large hips?
