I adjusted this recipe to make an individual serving, using a miniature 187ml bottle of sparkling wine to top off my cocktail. The small bottles are perfect to mix into a drink for a single serving, and come in handy when I feel like a glass of bubbles but no one else cares to join me.

522 NORTH PINCKNEY COCKTAIL

1 750-ml bottle of chilled sparkling wine

Combine grapefruit juice, St-Germain, and campari in a large pitcher. Cover and chill until cold, about 2 hours.

Divide grapefruit mixture among glasses and top off with sparkling wine.

Enjoy!

I mixed up these margaritas for a fun, casual happy hour at home. I gave Mum the choice between a bourbon or tequila based cocktail, and it wasn’t a surprise when she chose the tequila, as when she is here in town we dine frequently at our local Mexican restaurant, predominantly because of their frozen Margaritas.

THE ST. RITA

3 cups ice

2 ounces blanco tequila

1 1/2 ounces fresh lime juice

1 ounce St. Germain

1/2 ounce triple sec

Garnish – lime slice

If desired, rub rim of glass with lime wedge and dip rim of glass in salt to coat.

In a cocktail shaker, combine ice, tequila, lime juice, St. Germain and triple sec.

Shake vigorously for 20 to 30 seconds. Strain mixture into prepared glass, garnish with lime slice.

Enjoy!
