Let’s Talk about Mixology, Part 41

 

by Amer A. Vargas

 

Red Carpets

Since the Oscar Awards are still fresh on our minds, this month’s cocktail is my personal choice of a cocktail that I first tried quite a long time ago. This particular recipe is provided by our friends from TheSpruceEats.com, and as they say, this drink is worthy of an Oscar itself!

As I mentioned above, the Red Carpet is a personal choice of mine and those who like bitter-sweet flavors are in luck, as it makes good use of the following ingredients:

1.5 oz/4.5 cl vodka

1 oz/3 cl Campari

1 oz/3 cl pomegranate schnapps

1 oz/3 cl pomegranate juice

0.5 oz/1.5 cl of simple (sugar) syrup

Preparation is really simple: Pour all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker over 4-5 ice cubes and shake vigorously. Strain the mix into a chilled classic cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon slice or a lemon twist.

Enjoy your Red Carpet, even if you missed the Oscars, and we wish you a happy Spring!
