Our third cocktail this Christmas is the Orange Champagne Mule which was created in France, during World War II by American soldiers using booty liberated from retreating Germans, and named for the four ingredients; brandy, Benedictine, Cointreau and champagne.
This champagne cocktail is unusual in that it calls for room-temperature champagne, making it perfect for using up any leftovers.
