How To Make A Fizzy Grinch Cocktail
First, pour in a shot of gin, I've gone for the Pothecary Thai Blend Gin.
Second, pour in half a glass of the green juice, I've gone for an Innocent Wonder Green Juice.
Third, you'll want to get yourself a bottle of sparkling wine, I've gone for the Schlumberger Grüner Veltliner Brut and fill the rest of the glass.
Fourth and finally to give it a little redness, pour in a little Grenadine, this will fall to the bottom of the glass.
The Grinch Cocktail
Cocktail Tasting Notes – "This is a very refreshing easy to drink fizz cocktail with green fruits, soft herbal notes and freshly cut grass aromas. The flavour is full of green fruits with a hint of spice from the Gin and the Sparkling Wine bringing it all together, the cocktail ends with a mouthful of sweetness from the grenadine when you take your last couple of sips."
"Merry Christmas Mr. Grinch"
