How to Make Cosmopolitan Champagne

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup cranberry juice and bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 10-12 minutes, or until the juice has reduced by about two-thirds, becoming syrupy.
Remove from heat and let cool completely (about 30 minutes).
In a small pitcher or shaker, combine the cooled cranberry reduction, 2 ounces Cointreau, and 1 ounce fresh lime juice. Stir well to combine.
Place 1 sugar cube in each serving glass (champagne flutes are recommended).
Pour the cranberry mixture evenly over the sugar cubes, allowing the sugar to dissolve slightly.
Top each glass with chilled champagne or sparkling wine. Garnish with a lime wedge or cranberry, if desired, and serve immediately.
