This champagne cocktail is inspired by ri(1) rye whiskey, which I used in this recipe. It has a light flavor without being too sweet or too weak, which is the downfall of some champagne cocktails.

Sparkling Rye Cocktail

1 oz. rye whiskey
1/2 oz. red grapefruit juice
1/2 oz. simple syrup
Sparkling wine

Pour the rye, grapefruit juice and simple syrup into a chilled champagne flute. Then pour in chilled sparkling wine.
