1 measure vodka
1 measure pomegranate juice
1 tbsp. lime juice
Champagne
Maraschino cherry
Amy had the cocktail recipe found above laying around, but
she forgot where it came from and its name was unknown. So we improvised by
calling it the AMY POMEGRANATE CHAMPAGNE
SPECIAL. Her lack of a cocktail shaker (I think I feel a birthday gift idea
coming on) also had us improvising. She put all of the ingredients above,
except for the champagne, into a large, fast-food like, drink container. She
then added ice, stirred it well and used a spoon to strain the mixture into
some wine glasses. Amy then topped the cocktail off with about ½ measure of
champagne and plopped a cherry in the bottom with the finesse of a former
bartender.
The AMY POMEGRANATE
CHAMPAGNE SPECIAL looked like hose water, but tasted like lurid champagne.
It works well as a champagne alternative. It had the bubbles — which looked
especially cool rising from the cherry on the bottom — but not the sweet. The
vodka and lime were barely detectable, yet the cocktail had a citrus taste. Amy
used a low-cal pomegranate acai berry juice instead of regular pomegranate
juice, which would have doubtlessly made it a darker and less acai cocktail.
Probably better too. Still, the Amila way was better for my figure and one does
not complain to one’s village.
