Berry Mash Cocktails

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.
