Naartjie-Paloma cocktail with Champagne šŸ„‚



Itā€™s my sisterā€™s second lockdown birthday so in her absent honour, I have decided to make her a šŸ„


Naartjie-Paloma cocktail with Champagne šŸ„‚


Get together a lemon, a naartjie, some tequila, rosemary sprigs, lemon syrup, glasses, ice and MCC or Champagne


ā€¢ Squeeze the naartjie like a lemon to juice it

ā€¢ Pour naartjie juice into a cup or glass or fancy bar shaker, add some ice blocks (about 6 will do) and a tablespoon of lemon syrup

ā€¢ Pour two tots (approx 50ml) of tequila over the ice as well and stir this leisurely to allow enough melt and release some flavour and dilute the tequila somewhat

ā€¢ Put a rosemary sprig in each glass and a small thin lemon (you can also use lime) wedge

ā€¢ Pour this mix through a strainer, sieve, or just take the ice out and divide equally between the two garnished glasses

ā€¢ Get the bubbly out the fridge and ready to open - perhaps move to the lawn, and if you have a sword and it warrants a Sabrage-opening ask all kids and dogs to stand clearā€¦ šŸ—”


SMALL TIPā€¦

**Do not open the bubbly over your wooden cabinet bar, if it sprays you have to stop and clean everything to save the antique wooden shelvesā€¦

(donā€™t think messing like this is very French, might be more Mexican! Do not slurp the champagne off the shelf even if you feel like it šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤©)


ā€¢ Top the glasses up with the bubbles, give a nice stir, find someone to hold the other glass, and in your best French say ā€œbonne santĆ©ā€ - to good health šŸ¾ šŸ„³
