Sparkling Fall Harvest Punch Recipe

Sparkling wine will taste different depending on the variety of grapes used in the production of the wine. Champagne is citrus, white peach, and cherry, and made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes.

Prosecco is green apple, honeysuckle and pear and and made from Glera grapes (can also include Verdiso, Bianchetta Trevigiana, Perera grapes).

Cava (Spanish sparkling wine) will taste more like Champagne as it is produced using the same methods. Depending on the grape used Macabeu (lemony),
Parellada (citrus), Xarel·lo (pear), your beverage will be influenced by the undertones.

Germany Sekt is usually sweeter than Champagne, Sekt uses grapes imported from other countries (France, Italy, and Spain). It is more like Prosecco than Cava or Champagne.

US sparkling wines will vary greatly by region and grapes.

There are also now sparkling wines being imported from Argentina and Australia!

Definitely check the notes on the bottle of sparkling wine you are using to see how to balance or enhance the fruit notes with your cut fruit.

Notes:

• Feel free to add to, or reduce, the amounts of fruit, cider, or cranberry juice to change the taste of you fall harvest punch!

• The fruit is one TOTAL cup as listed. Use plum, peach, apple, pear, etc to achieve the taste you would like. The recipe I featured used apple, plum, and peach as a mix to achieve one cup. You can definitely use only one fruit, but meshing flavors is very nice.

• For additional garnish, consider a sprig of fresh rosemary.

Strawberry Ginger Cocktail Recipe

June 18, 2018 By Ann 1 Comment

The sights and sounds of summer include sitting by the pool, hosting a barbecue, and picnics by the lake. Easy summer cocktails add to the summer party atmosphere. This strawberry ginger cocktail recipe needs to go on your easy mixed drinks list. Bursting with strawberry and ginger flavor, this delicious adult libation is the perfect summer cocktail!

Strawberry Ginger Cocktail Recipe

Notes:

• For more “strawberry” in your cocktail, muddle some fresh strawberries at the bottom of your tall cocktail glass before making this lovely cocktail. “Muddle” sounds odd, but all you are doing is basically smushing mint, spices or fruits to release more of the flavor. You can use a muddler or some other smashing tool (mortar and pestle) to mash fruits, herbs and spices in the bottom of a glass or bowl.

•This cocktail drink uses strawberries (because almost everyone likes strawberries and they pair well with the other ingredients), but you could use raspberries or blackberries to change up the taste.

Strawberry Ginger Cocktail Ingredients:

• Ice
• 1½ oz White Rum
• 1½ oz Pineapple Juice
• 2 oz Ginger Beer
• Strawberries

Strawberry Ginger Cocktail Mise en Place:

• Cocktail Glass
• Jigger
• Cocktail Shaker
• Cocktail Spoon
• Cocktail Strainer

Strawberry Ginger Cocktail Directions:

• Into a cocktail shaker add one cup of ice, white rum, pineapple juice, ginger beer.
• Stir well with a spoon for thirty seconds, then strain into a serving glass filled with ice.
• Garnish with sliced strawberries.
• Serve immediately.

Blue Mermaid Cocktail Recipe

May 7, 2018 By Ann Leave a Comment

A tropical delight, this mermaid themed cocktail recipe might also be referred to as mermaid water! If you are looking for a tasty and delightful summertime fun cocktail recipe, give this fabulous blue mermaid cocktail a try. Yum!

Blue Mermaid Cocktail Recipe

This mermaid drink recipe is potent! Lots of booze that goes down easy. Be aware of that when you are partaking of this adult beverage.

This Tropical Rum Punch Recipe is delicious, cool and refreshing. The rum punch combines the flavors of rum, brandy, and fruit juice into a fabulous tropical drink!

• I gave directions to grind up the Graham crackers with a mini food processor, but you can always just purchase the Graham Cracker Crumbs (in the baking aisle – they are already ground). I must admit that I do not use Graham crackers often enough to not buy the pre-ground ones. I usually have a container of Graham cracker crumbs in the pantry, and one in the freezer.

Blue Mermaid Cocktail Ingredients:

• ¼ cup ground Graham Crackers (for rimming)
• 1 oz Malibu Rum
• 1 oz Blue Curaçao
• 1 oz Blue UV Vodka
• 1/3 cup Pineapple Juice
• 1 Maraschino Cherry
• 2 pieces fresh Pineapple

Blue Mermaid Cocktail Mise en Place:

• Mini Food Processor
• 1 Umbrella (for garnish)
• Jigger
• Cocktail Mixing Glass
• Cocktail Spoon

Blue Mermaid Cocktail D‏irections:

• Wet rim of a short cocktail glass with rum.
• Grind Graham crackers in food processor or blender.

• Place ground Graham crackers on a dish and roll wet rim in Graham crackers.

• Add ice to the rimmed cocktail glass.

• Pour in Malibu Rum, Blue Curaçao, Blue UV Vodka, and pineapple juice.
• Stir lightly to combine.
• Give a small stir.

• Add two slices of pineapple to the side of the glass, one maraschino cherry and a cocktail umbrella for garnish to complete the tropical look.
• Serve it up on top of a tray strewn with extra ground Graham crackers for a sandy beach tray!
