To make the Joan Collins “spritzer” you will need:

1/2 Thinly Sliced Blood Orange 
1 oz Aperol
1 oz Grand Marnier
1 oz Lillet Blanc
Treveri Blanc de Blancs 

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice combine Aperol, Grand Marnier and Lillet and shake until cold. Strain into a Collins glass that’s been lined with Blood Orange Slices and filled with ice. Top with Treveri (or any sparkling wine you’d like) and serve.

To make the “classic” Joan Collins (originally from liquor.com: https://www.liquor.com/recipes/joan-collins/) you will need:

1⁄2 Sliced Lime
2 Slices Cucumber
2 Mint Leaves
2 oz Vodka
3⁄4 oz Honey-Hibiscus Syrup
Soda Water

In a cocktail shaker, muddle the lime, cucumber and mint. Add the syrup and vodka with plenty of ice, and shake until chilled. Strain over ice into a Collins glass, and top with soda water. Serve with a cucumber wheel for garnish.

To make the Honey-Hibiscus Syrup bring .5 cup of honey and .5 cup of water to simmer, stirring to incorporate. Remove from heat, add 1 hibiscus tea bag, and let cool. Remove the tea bag and store in the refrigerator for up to a month.
