Dementia Pugilistica

OK. Get ready. I made a sample batch last night with lime instead of
the blood oranges and it was totally good. I might stick with it. I
think it kept the sweetness of the St. Germaine at bay.

⅔ bottle Remy Martin VS cognac ( or other good brandy)
¼ bottle maraschino liqueur
¼ bottle St. Germain elderflower liqueur
3 bottles Duval-Leroy Rose Champagne (or other good dry Champagne)
10 dashes Angostura bitters
15 dashes peach bitters (if available)
2 blood oranges, sliced
Take a large metal bowl and fill with water.
Place bowl in freezer until frozen.
Lay bowl in a sink of hot water until ice can slide out.
Place huge ice dome into a punch bowl.
Pour all other ingredients into punch bowl.
Stir and serve.

SaĂșco Margarita

My Mother in Law bought me a bottle of St. Germain. This is the best thing I've made with it so far.
Glass: Coupette
Garnish: Lime wedge & optional salt rim
Method: SHAKE all ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass.
1½ shot(s) Tequila
1½ shot(s) St. Germain liqueur
¾ shot(s) Freshly squeezed lime juice

I didn't salt the rim. That would make it totally crappy.
