The Golden Gate Bridge
Directions
Blood orange juice helps turn this cocktail a color resembling the Golden Gate Bridge. Add Campari, orange juice, simple syrup and bitters to an ice-filled shaker. Shake and fine strain (to remove any pulp) into a champagne flute or coupe. Top with sparkling wine. Zest the orange peel over the top of the drink and drop the peel in the drink or discard. Note: to make rich simple syrup, heat two parts sugar to one part water and stir until dissolved. Store covered in the refrigerator between uses.
