It’s a bank holiday tomorrow so we’re off work, hurrah!! Decided to try out a rather special little cocktail.

Here is Joe Wadsack’s recipe, it’s similar to a Kir Royale.

RASPBERRY CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL

INGREDIENTS

3 Fresh raspberries (I used frozen)

50 ml Stolichnaya vodka (I used Smirnoff Black label)

Raspberry liqueur (I used Creme de Framboise)

Ice

Moet champagne to fill (I used Crément d’Alsace since it is local).

PREPARATION

Place two of the raspberries in the cocktail shaker with the vodka, ice and raspberry liqueur.

Cover and shake until well blended.

Strain into a champagne flute, top with the champagne and the remaining raspberry.

Serve immediately.

It was nice but I ended up only drinking half a glass since it was pretty sweet!
