This showy martini is easy to make and comes from Lee Hollis novella Death of a Halloween Party Monster:

This cocktail has become my new favorite and go-to drink at restaurants. The drink is featured in Lucy Burdette’s A Dish to Die For

Another way to enjoy champagne and fruit is to use pear liqueur. This cocktail comes from Lee Hollis’s Death of a Cookbook Author

Blueberries and lemon go hand in hand in baking and work perfectly in this cocktail too. From Lee Hollis’s Death of a Lobster Lover
