Monaco Midnight

Description

Black cherry liqueur gives this sparkling vodka drink a ripe, dark-fruit centre. The wine brings acidity and bubbles, and lemon peel freshens the first sip before cherry returns at the end. It’s a longer, brighter way to enjoy cherry liqueur, with the vodka staying in the background.

Ingredients

40 ml Vodka
20 ml Black cherry liqueur
10 ml Champagne Cordial
80 ml Sparkling Wine
Lemon twist
Ice

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.

Instructions

Add Vodka and Black cherry liqueur to a shaker with ice; keep Champagne Cordial and Sparkling Wine out of the shaker.
Shake briefly until the base is well chilled.
Strain into the serving glass over fresh ice.
Top gently with Champagne Cordial and Sparkling Wine, stir once or twice, and garnish.
