If you thought I had given up on my ‘signature drinks’, think again….here’s another one. It makes 2 drinks so be sure to add on when making more.
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries or blackberries
- 3 tablespoons of Chambourd
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 1/2 bottle of any semi-dry sparkling wine of your choice
Gently stir the raspberries, sugar and Chambourd in a bowl, mascerate and let sit, covered, in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.
Spoon 2 tbsp. of the raspberries and some juice into champagne flutes, and slowly top up with the sparkling wine.
Toast each other and enjoy!
Where’s Spring Martini
After the crazy attempts to a normal Spring, weather-wise, I think it is time to make a martini that just might spur things on.
You will need
- 3 parts Raspberry Vodka
- 1 part Chambourd
- 1 part cranberry juice.
Pour ingredients into a shaker filled with cracked ice. Shake well. Strain into chilled martini glasses and garnish with ripe raspberries (3 should about do it). I meant 3 raspberries not…you get the picture!
Enjoy! Eventually Spring will arrive.
