Metric
Imperial
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup frozen cranberries
- 1/2 oz maple syrup, preferably dark syrup for its robust flavour
- 1 oz acerum, ideally amber (if not, white will do)
- 1 oz pink grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 oz sparkling maple wine
- 1 frozen cranberry, coated in maple sugar, to garnish
Method
- In a shaker, crush the frozen cranberries in the maple syrup.
- Add the acerum and grapefruit juice, fill with ice cubes and shake.
- Strain through a fine sieve into a champagne flute.
- Add the (well-chilled) sparkling maple wine.
- Put a frozen cranberry onto a cocktail pick, dip it into maple syrup, and sprinkle with fine maple sugar.
- Balance the cocktail pick on the flute
– Can’t drink grapefruit juice? Substitute with the same amount of freshly squeezed orange juice.
– The sparkling maple wine can also be replaced by a traditional or rosé sparkling wine.
– This can be made without alcohol. See our recipe for the New Year’s Day Maple Mocktail.
