Royal Blush Cocktail Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the vodka, lime juice, Simple Syrup, cherry juice and mint leaves in a shaker with ice. Shake until chilled and strain into 4 martini glasses. Top each glass with champagne and serve.
• Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Keep covered in the refrigerator up to 1 month.

Steps:

• To Make Cherry Purée:
• In a bowl, purée frozen cherries or all-fruit spread with water. In general: 1 cup of frozen cherries (6 ounces) puréed with 2 tablespoons of water makes approximately 3/4 cup purée. To make purée using all-fruit spread, combine 3/4 cup spread with 3/4 cup water. Any extra can be used to make smoothies or sauce for ice cream.
• To Make Cocktail:
• Transfer purée to chilled martini glass. In chilled cocktail shaker, combine vodka, lime juice, and simple syrup. Tear mint leaves in half and add to shaker. Add ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Slowly strain into martini glass without disturbing purée, then top with sparkling wine and serve.

Steps:

• In a small pot, combine the sweetener, 1 cup water and 2 rosemary sprigs. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook until the sugar is dissolved, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Store in a reusable container in the refrigerator.
• Fill 2 glasses with ice. In a cocktail shaker, combine 1/4 cup of the rosemary simple syrup with the cranberry juice (reserve the remaining simple syrup for another use). Shake and pour over the ice into the glasses. Top with the seltzer. Garnish each with a rosemary sprig.

Steps:

• Moisten rim of chilled martini glass with lime wedge. Sprinkle sugar onto small plate, and dip moistened rim into the sugar to coat lightly.
