Champagne Thursdays: ginger & champagne

It's been a while since we've had a 'Champagne Thursday' in our midst. Admittedly that's entirely my fault. As it turns out, there's a whole chapter to alcoholic beverages that I'm just not familiar with. I've always been the girl to have an ice-cold hard cider or an amaretto on the rocks... or the occasional glass of wine!

So maybe Champagne Thursdays wont be as regular as I thought they would. Maybe they will just be a once in a while treat like they ought to be. I'm still on the fence about it all.

Ingredients: - chilled champagne - ginger syrup

Directions: 1. pour 2 tsps of ginger syrup into a champagne glass, add just a little bit of champagne & give it a good stir to make sure the syrup has been thoroughly mixed. Top up with champagne & enjoy. Repeat as many times as needed to either sate your thirst or satisfy your guests xxx
