In this drink: one part Calvados, shaken with lime zest, a teapsoon* of brown sugar and plenty of ice, and topped in the glass with four parts sparkling Grüner Veltliner.
Constance - it is a very good sparkling wine - I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, had it on its own too with dinner. One could make a similar argument about Champagne, sugar cubes and bitters. But I do like cocktails :-)
Looks and sound Yummy...I'm getting thirsty ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is a must-try, I love Grüner Veltliner.
ReplyDeleteAnyes - then my mission is accomplished :-)
ReplyDeleteLambert, the wine was Szigeti. Hope you have it in your hood.
Szigeti is a fantastic sparkling Gruner! Have you had it on its own? Definitely doesn't even need to be mixed in a cocktail to be fab :)
