The Chandon Pink Parade


Each sip of this subtle cocktail sends a burst of flavors dancing over your taste buds like Mardi Gras floats down Canal Street. Sinfully delicious!

Ingredients
4 oz Domaine Chandon Rosé
1 oz unsweetened ruby grapefruit juice
2-inch sprig of fresh rosemary
1 heaping teaspoon of ruby grapefruit marmalade (may substitute orange marmalade)
¾ oz simple syrup (see savvy tip below)

Instructions

In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, gently muddle the rosemary and simple syrup until scent is released. Remove rosemary, add grapefruit marmalade and muddle until dissolved. Add remaining ingredients and shake with ice to chill. Strain into glass (over cracked ice if desired).

Optional garnish: Medium coarse ground Szechuan (pink) pepper or a wedge of pink grapefruit.

Suggested glassware: Cocktail glass or tumbler

Makes one cocktail.
