It’s mid week and the rain is pouring – we should be sitting outside having picnics and bbq’s but instead, why not invite the girls over and create a cocktail of your own! We got a recipe from one of the girls in the office who has a bit of a reputation as being a good cocktail maker who throws the best parties. All you need is some luxurious champagne glasses and plenty of nibbles. Go all out and put on your posh frocks!
Pomegranate Ginger Champagne Cocktail
Fresh taste of ginger and pomegranate – yes please. Topped with Cointreau and champagne – what more could a girl want! Follow the simple recipe below:
You will need:
• 1 cup pomegranate juice
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 1/4-inch-thick slice fresh ginger
• 4 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Cointreau or other orange liqueur
• 1 750-ml bottle brut Champagne, well chilled
Preparation:
Boil first pomegranate juice, sugar and ginger ingredients in heavy small saucepan until syrup is reduced to 1/3 cup, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool. Pour 4 teaspoons of pomegranate syrup, 1 tablespoon orange juice, and 1/4 teaspoon Cointreau into each of four 6-ounce Champagne flutes. Fill each with 2/3 cup Champagne and voila! A sophisticated cocktail to help you forget about the rain!
