Girls’ Night
COCKTAIL TASTING
T
here is nothing better than a girl’s night, and a girl’s night with a cocktail tasting menu is the best night ever. I love to surprise my friends with a night full of a variety of different cocktails that really expands their palate and allows them to try different flavors and spirit combinations. It’s so much fun. For this cocktail tasting menu I decided to introduce two different vodka cocktails, a gin cocktail, and a rum cocktail. All are perfect for a day by the pool, but different in every way. The first cocktail is “The Summer Garden”. This fresh and delicious cocktail is made with cucumber vodka, elderflower liqueur, violet syrup, lemon juice, mint, and topped with an elderflower violet foam. This cocktail is light and refreshing with a delicious floral aroma and taste. Next, I introduced a delicious “Limoncello Blueberry Lemon Granita Martini” made with delicious Yellowfin Vodka. This cocktail is made with a simple and easy granita. I love to make this delicious treat using different fruits. Rum cocktails are perfect for a day by the pool. They are the ultimate tropical spirit and can often be light and refreshing on a hot day. These “Razzmatazz Daiquiris” are made with delicious muddled raspberries, raspberry syrup, lime juice, sherry and a little bit of toasted coconut syrup. Finally, the beautiful “Pinkies Up” cocktails are made with delicious and beautiful Empress 1908 gin. This spirit is made with butterfly pea flower which gives it the beautiful lavender hue.
