Lemon Champagne Cocktail

• One 12-ounce container frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed (1 1/2 cups)
• 1 1/2 cups vanilla-flavored or plain vodka
• One 750 ml bottle rose champagne, chilled
• Fresh mint sprigs

1. In a pitcher, combine the lemonade and vodka.
2. Slowly stir in the champagne.
3. Pour into ice-filled glasses and garnish with mint sprigs.
4. Cook's Note: To make vanilla-flavored vodka, place 3 whole vanilla beans in a 750 ml bottle of plain vodka.
5. Place the bottle in a cool dark place for at least 10 days to allow the vanilla to infuse the vodka.
6. Open the bottle occasionally during the infusion time.
