3rd #cocktail of #FridayNightCocktails on 16th December: Champagne Bowler
Our third and final cocktail this evening is the 200th cocktail since we started.
The cocktail is the classic Champagne Bowler, a 1930s cocktail which uses both chardonnay white wine and champagne with cognac and fresh strawberries.
The second cocktail this #FridayNightCocktails is the Champagne Grenadine Spritzer. This champagne cocktail is a simple one which combines pink champagne with grenadine syrup.
Our first cocktail is the Princess Mary, which was created by Scottish bartender Harry MacElhone to celebrate H.R.H. Princess Mary’s marriage to Lord Henry George Charles Lascelles in 1922.
We’ve opted for the original recipe, but Simon Difford has an updated recipe which uses an increased amount (45ml) of dry gin which may be better suited to modern palettes.
Our third and final cocktail is the Grand Royal; a champagne cocktail which combines champagne with the cognac based Grand Marnier orange liqueur.
The second cocktail this #FridayNightCocktails is the Pimm’s Royale. This champagne cocktail uses Pimm’s The Original Number 1 Cup commonly used for the popular summer Pimm’s Cup cocktail.
Our first cocktail is the Angel’s Delight, which is a slightly unusual, albeit very tasty, dessert cocktail in that it combines gin, triple sec and cream. This combination isn’t at all common; be careful not to add too much cream as it is easy to throw the balance of the drink.
Our third and final cocktail is the Kr Royale; a classic champagne cocktail using either blackberry or raspberry liqueur. We’ve opted for the blackberry version, but you could swap out the creme de cassis for Chambord raspberry liqueur quite easily..
Our first cocktail is the Orange Creamiscle[/i], which was created in the 1990s when flavoured vodkas were first arising.
