Ooh....Tuesday Tipple: The Grapefruit Sparkler

During another of my mammoth sessions tumbling through the blogging world, I stumbled upon a simple little cocktail from Martha Stewart Weddings. The Grapefruit Sparkler was there in all it's glory - being sold by Martha as a perfect welcome drink at a wedding reception.... but I have decided to add my own little touch!


Martha's Sparklers



I think this very adaptable basic mix is great for single measures but would also be rather lovely when served in a pitcher for a more casual affair! I have added a little lime to give an extra citrus kick.

The Grapefruit & Lime Sparkler

Ingredients

1 fl oz Pink Grapefruit Juice

5 fl oz Sparkling Wine

Squeeze of Lime

3 teaspoons of sugar

Method

• Sprinkle the sugar on to a plate (preferably one which is bigger than the circumference of your glass).
• Run a slice of lime around the rim of each serving glass
• Press the glasses into the sugar, coatng the rim with a fine layer.  Leave to dry.
• Pour grapefruit juice into glass and top with your sparkling wine.
• Add a dash of lime juice, just to give that little extra kick!

Enjoy!
