Ingredients

• Ice (in block form if possible, if not, large chunks)
• 4 oz. Cointreau
• 4 oz. brandy
• 2 oranges, cut into wedges
• 1 cup frozen cranberries (optional)
• 2 bottles chilled champagne

Instructions

1. Add ice to a large punch bowl. If using chunks (as opposed to a large block of ice), fill the bowl just under half way. Add Cointreau and brandy. Using a ladle or long spoon, stir briefly. Add orange slices and cranberries (if using) and then pour in the champagne. Stir 12 times and let sit for a minute, so the ingredients can get acquainted.
