Maison dOr

Description

Tonka syrup gives this sparkling drink a warm vanilla-and-almond scent, while rhubarb essence contributes a tart-fruit aroma. A small vodka measure leaves the wine to carry the fizz and the finish. It suits someone who likes a wine-led aperitif with a more unusual, softly spiced fragrance.

10 ml Tonka Syrup
70 ml Sparkling Wine
5 ml Rhubarb Essence
Ice

Add Vodka, Tonka Syrup, and Rhubarb Essence to a shaker with ice; keep Sparkling Wine out of the shaker.
