Spiked Raspberry Mimosa
Jeremy Flinkman is not a man who takes kindly to frilly drinks with silly straws and umbrellas. So when I was playing with an idea I had for a sparkling margarita/mimosa to be served at a post V-Day brunch, I knew for sure he was not going to be a taker.
Fresh puréed and strained raspberries, a splash of Cointreau, portion of orange juice, dash of Orange vanilla sugar and a proper jigger of Casa Nobles, floated on a sea of New Mexico's Gruet sparking wine. Surely this was the girly-est of drinks. For some reason self professed cave man Jeremy was a taker on this fruit filled cocktail, perhaps it was the unpretentious mason jar I served it in...
Whether you are dainty female looking for a special sunday brunch cocktail or a man's man just in from hours of snowmobileing, this drink is sure to have you resting, relaxing and enjoying.
- 2 cups Frozen Raspberries
- 1 tbsp Orange Vanilla Sugar or 1 tsp Xylitol
- 1/3 cup Casa Noble Crystal Tequila
- 1 tbsp Cointreau
- 1/3 cup Orange Juice
- 1 cup Gruet sparkling wine
Thaw frozen raspberries sprinkled with Orange Vanilla Sugar in a cocktail shaker.
Then muddle with Casa Noble Crystal Tequila and Cointreau. Add orange juice and shake thoroughly to blend. Strain into cocktail, champagne or sporty mason jar glasses which are 1/2 filled with Gruet. Pay homage to this fabulous tequila by salting the rims of whatever glasses you use.
