Description

What works about Citrus Aisle Sparkler is the contrast between familiar cocktail logic and a more individual flavour combination. The recipe combines Vodka, Mandarin liqueur, Champagne Cordial, and Sparkling Wine. Bubbles keep the serve open and refreshing, so the richer or sweeter elements stay light on the palate.

It fits naturally into aperitif hour, garden drinks, parties or any round where you want flavour without a heavy finish. Use fresh ice and serve promptly so the texture and aroma arrive at their best.

Ingredients

  • 40 ml Vodka
  • 20 ml Mandarin liqueur
  • 10 ml Champagne Cordial
  • 80 ml Sparkling Wine

Equipment needed

Bar Spoon – Used to stir the drink smoothly with ice before serving. Muddler – Useful for gently pressing herbs, fruit or sugar when building the drink. Bottle Opener – Useful if the serve uses bottled soda, ginger beer or sparkling wine.

Instructions

  2. Shake briefly until the base is cold.
