4 April 2020 / Food /
As we continue to enjoy a generous dose of British sunshine, we’ve come to love a refreshing and summery tipple more than ever. So, we asked our head bartender at The Glasshouse Bar, to share three of his favourite cocktail recipes that lend themselves perfectly to a warm summer’s evening.
Rhubarb Cosmopolitan
A quintessential English twist on a modern classic
Ingredients
- 50ml Chase Rhubarb Vodka
- 10ml Cointreau liqueur
- 10ml fresh lime juice
- 25ml cranberry juice
- 2 Dashes of La Fee Rhubarb Bitters (optional)
- Orange peel to garnish
Method
- Combine the Chase Rhubarb Vodka, Cointreau liqueur, lime juice, cranberry juice and La Fee Rhubarb Bitters (if using) in a cocktail shaker with some ice.
- Shake vigorously for 10 seconds before fine straining into a cosmopolitan glass.
- Finish with a garnish of orange peel.
Limoncello Bellini
A refreshing and light concoction to tantalise the taste buds, this has become a firm favourite on the Ayala Brut Nature Bar pop-up’s menu.
Ingredients
- 25ml limoncello liqueur
- 5ml fresh raspberry purée
- 100ml Ayala Brut Champagne
Method
- Spoon the raspberry purée into a Champagne glass, followed by the limoncello, and then gently top up the glass with Ayala Brut Champagne.
- Give it a gentle stir before serving straight away.
