On the Rocks: Funky Diva.
Aside from despising the name of the Funky Diva, I love everything else about it. Fizzy orange perfection.
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 oz Leblon cachaça
– 1/2 oz Aperol liqueur
– 1/2 oz Grand Marnier
– dash of simple syrup
– blood orange, cut into chunks
– Champagne
Muddle blood orange and simple syrup. Shake with all the ingredients except Champagne. Pour into a tall glass and top with Champagne.
