This juicy cocktail is a riff on a classic French 75, but instead of using lemon juice,Food & Wine’s Justin Chapple swaps in clementine juice. The best part of this drink is that it also makes an excellent mocktail: Use apple cider vinegar and seltzer instead of the gin and Champagne.Slideshow:More Champagne Cocktail Recipes
