    Bellini – A Twist

    Going ahead with easy mixes, here is one that I tried out in Bellini style. Bellini is the famous cocktail made with Prosecco and peach purée or nectar & which has its origin in Venice, Italy.

    Well, no worries if Prosecco or Sparkling Wine is not around, I have replaced sparkling wine with tonic water & gave a gin base. I have my near Bellini style concoction out here. I have also mentioned some substitutes. Well, no harm – trial & error is the route to success.

    Ingredients
    Gin – 45 ml – (Or Vodka or Tequila)
    Ginger Syrup – 15 ml
    Lime juice – 10 ml
    Orange juice – 25 ml ( Or Watermelon or Peach juice)
    Sugar cube – 1
    Bitters – 2 dashes (Or Brandy or Rum – 5 ml)
    Tonic water – 30 ml ( Or any Tangy fizzy drink)
    Flute glass – Or any cocktail glass🥂

    Preparation Method
    Drop a sugar cube in a flute glass & soak it with bitters. In a mixing glass, add in the gin, ginger syrup, lime juice & orange juice. Add a couple of ice cubes & stir gently. Strain it in the flute & top it up with tonic water.

    There is my Bellini Twist. Give it a try & do tag me to your Bellini twist

    Cheers!

    Vanilla Bean & Fig Cocktail

    Got some fresh figs from the market. Surfed for some fig cocktails. Found this wonderful Fig & Vanilla Cocktail by @platingsandpairings
    .
    Made with vodka and a vanilla bean & fig simple syrup. Though, suggested to combine it with soda water, I thought of Brut to get a nice fizz
    .
    This recipe calls for simple sugar syrup which is infused with chopped fresh figs & cut vanilla bean & set to rest before being  strained & ready to use
    .

    Absolut Vodka – 60 ml
    Fig & Vanilla Bean Simple Syrup – 15 ml
    Lemon juice – 5 ml
    Brut sparkling wine – to top it
    Ice
    Fresh figs for garnish


    Preparation Method

    Add vodka, simple syrup and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake it well and strain into cocktail glass with a couple of ice cubes. Top with Brut & garnish with fig
    .
    Sip & enjoy the fizzy brut vodka with the flavours of vanilla & fig to finish.

    Cheers!
