Recipe for Festive Cocktail: Wine and Citrus in Flute
A festive cocktail that combines the elegance of Vino Castelblanch Extra Brut sparkling wine with the lively aromas of Cointreau, Passoa, and Chinese mandarin. Perfect for special occasions, with a sophisticated presentation and a refined balance of flavors.
Instructions
- Begin by chilling the flute glass, placing it in the freezer for a few minutes or filling it with ice and letting it rest.
- Remove the ice from the glass (if used) and carefully pour in the Cointreau followed by the Passoa.
- Slowly add the previously chilled Castelblanch Extra Brut Wine, avoiding pouring it directly over the other liqueurs to avoid mixing them too abruptly.
- Gently stir with a cocktail spoon to lightly combine the ingredients, preserving the layering of flavors.
- Cut a thin slice or peel of the Chinese mandarin and use it to decorate the rim of the glass before serving.
Notes
To add a unique touch to your cocktail, try lightly caramelizing the mandarin peel with a kitchen torch before placing it on the rim of the glass. This will not only add a pleasant toasted aroma but also a subtle sweet note that will complement perfectly the citrusy flavors of Cointreau and Passoa.
