This decades-old recipe requires the help of Mom. One of Jeff’s favorite drinks as a kid (using ginger ale), has been transformed into a refreshing and delightful cocktail utilizing Champagne. It is the perfect drink for that hot summer day. Make it ahead of time and all that is required is to grab a scoop of it from the freezer, top with some bubbly, and sit back and enjoy.
