Poinsettia: Mix in cranberry juice and a splash of triple sec
Strawberry Champagne: Combine two cups diced strawberries with one tablespoon sugar, spoon into flute, then pour Champagne over top.
Sunshine Spritzer: Add equal parts Chambord and Bacardi Limon shakenover ice
Tropicale: Add mango nectar and a splash of pineapple juice

A note about Bloody Marys:

Premix and pour into a pitcher over ice so your guests can serve themselves. Don’t forget garnishes like celery, limes, and olives.
