Festive Pomegranate Sparkler

There is a distinct, visceral shift in the energy of a room when you hand a guest a beautifully crafted cocktail at the door. For the Estate Library's signature welcome drink, we rely on the aggressive acidity of fresh pomegranate juice rounded out by Chambord, finally topped with dry champagne. Always use a dry Brut or tart Prosecco to ensure the drink remains bright, not cloying.
