Did you know it’s World Cocktail Week?
Well it is…so it’s time to bring out the cocktail shaker and whip up something fabulous. You may already know that I have penchant for Pomegranate cocktails…there’s been the Pomegranate Cosmo, Pomegranate Mojito, Non-alcoholic Pom-Ade and Cranberry and Pomegranate Martini. And in celebration of this very special week I recreated Gourmet Traveller’s Pomegranate Caprioska.
| ½ | lime, cut into 4 wedges |
| 50 ml | vodka |
| 30 ml | pomegranate juice (see note) |
| 1 tsp | caster sugar or sugar syrup (see note) |
| To serve: | crushed ice |
Place two wedges of lime in a cocktail shaker with the vodka, pomegranate juice and sugar or syrup. Muddle the ingredients together, then add plenty of ice and shake well. Strain into a lowball glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with the remaining 2 lime wedges.
What did I miss? Why is this a special week?
I’m not sure who declared it or how wide spread it is but I heard on the radio that this week is World Cocktail Week, and there seem to be a few events organised for this special week that ends today. Go figure!
