Made this with Abuelo 7 Años and a decent but not too pricy prosecco. Decidedly in the general area of a mojito or Queen's Park swizzle flavor profile-wise, but a completely different drinking experience served short. Lovely!
Perfect. Just a hint of mint which is not overwhelming. The rum and lime adds a great tropical flavour. Went wonderfully with a spicy orange peel beef stir fry.
I would like your opinion Simon on this idea, what about if I made this as a Punch , respecting the proportions ? Am having a small party and made several punches before but they required lots of ingredients and more work. I was thinking of making this in a punch bowl, add the champagne just at serving time and add big ice balls to slow down the dilution. Would this work ? I havve a nice punch bowl with nice little tea cup style serving glasses.
Worth trying, Nathalie. Perhaps test with a mini version first. Hitting the right dilution will be key. I use a huge loaf of ice I make in a silicon bread mould for punches.
Oh my. Never came across this one on here and why not I ask myself, well many thousands of cocktails…. I discovered this one at the Hotel de Paris, Monte Carlo a week ago (wedding anniversary) and I was blown away ( well not literally I didn’t fall off my chair lol). I made this since at home and again it was fabulous even if I say so myself.

I’ve made this twice, and I’ve found that really the champagne matters more than anything, it goes from almost tart to a true summer drink
