Well the weather here in the North east of blighty took a turn for the worse on Thursday evening when we had some much needed rain and the temperature turned cooler, however by Friday it showed no sign of stopping ,so my cocktail hour felt a little bit odd, as I had planned it around sun and warmth. Never mind, living up here in the icy wastes, we take what is thrown at us.
Cocktail for the evening ( although not strictly a cocktail ) was
Frose
Bottle of rose wine ( put into a plastic container and put in the freezer for a good few hours)
splash of cherry brandy or grenadine
Frozen raspberries, strawberries or blackberries ( tiny sprinkling of sugar on these)
Remove the frozen rose from the freezer, it will be of 'slush' consistancy.
put into a blender ( Nurtibullet or hand blender will do)
Add the splash of grenadine or cherry brandy and the fruit
Blend.
Serve in a large coupe or wine glass with mint sprig and fruit to garnish
I served with chocolate dipped strawberries and grapes.
A wonderful cocktail , very easy to make, what more could you ask for
Add to that a weekend with Micky the Border Terrier and it was just the perfect way to chill out.
Have a great week.
