TIME FOR A TIPPLE: RIVE SUD WITH SPARKLES
Time for a Tipple
One of my naughty escapes this month was a cheeky early-evening dash to a friend’s house, where I was introduced to a cocktail so magical, that it sparkles. Literally!
This little beauty is a tad more extravagant than my usual mixes, but well worth it if you fancy wowing your guests. And a big thank you to Jacqui, who certainly wowed me!
Rive Sud with Sparkles
Recipe* (Serves 1)
- 2 fingers of any good gin
- 1 finger of fresh lime juice
- 1 finger of lavender syrup (heavenly stuff!)
- A tiny pinch of green “luster dust” (New to me too! It’s edible sparkles, and you can buy it on Amazon.)
- 2 fingers of champagne, prosecco or cava
- Crushed ice
- Mint leaf, to garnish
Method
- Plop some crushed ice into the bottom of your champagne saucer and pour over the gin.
- Squeeze in the lime.
- Glug in the lime juice and lavender syrup.
- Sprinkle in the magic pixie dust, and give everything a good stir.
- Top up – gently – with the champagne etc (It fizzes! Sometimes quite a lot!)
A cocktail so full of magic it sparkles!
