Fleur De Minuit
#ad #ad21
It’s almost New Years! To celebrate the occasion with my last post of the year, I have this beautiful number in collaboration with my friends at @totalwine. Of course, there are bubbles involved— here I used an amazing cuvée rosé from @borrascawines. It’s dry yet approachable and delicious by itself. For the cocktail-inclined, we won’t stop there. First, we’ll add a bit of cognac. I used a lovely expression from @abk6cognac (Grande Champagne).
In addition to orange liqueur and fresh lemon juice, a bit of seasonal flavors come by way of a spiced grenadine. While you could use regular grenadine and add with the rest of the ingredients, the spice profile is lovely here and adding it at the end creates a gorgeous color gradient.
Recipe
1oz VSOP Cognac (@abk6cognac)
0.25oz Triple sec
0.5oz Lemon juice
4oz Rosé champagne (@borrascawines)
0.5oz Spiced grenadine
Shake first three ingredients briefly with ice until chilled. Fine strain into champagne flute and top with sparkling wine. Pour grenadine gently over a barspoon for maximum layering. Garnish with lemon peel.
Cheers and Happy New Year!!
