Thanksgiving cocktail

I needed to come up with some kind of season-appropriate pick-me-up. I am very happy with the result:

For an hour, macerate 4, inch-long strips of tangerine peel in 4 tablespoons of Grand Marnier.

In champagne flutes,  drip 3 drops of Angostura bitters. Add one strip of tangerine peel to each flute. Add 1 tablespoon of the Grand Marnier. Top with chilled Prosecco.

Drink.

Then repeat.

Happy Thanksgiving.

The dreenk sounds delicious and looks very pretty. Hope you, Beence, and Estorbo had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Repeat until all the Grand Marnier has been used up, I assume? Sounds delicious, even to a non-drinker.
