Cava Cocktail Recipes

Steps:

• Using a reamer, juice the blood oranges into a strainer placed over a bowl. With the back of the spoon work the pulp against the strainer to extract all of the juice, about 1/4 cup.
• In a small pitcher combine the blood orange juice, lemon juice, bitters, and the chilled cava. Give it a little stir. Pour into a chilled champagne flute. Garnish with a thin slice of blood orange.

Steps:

• If desired, place a sugar cube in the bottom of a Champagne flute. Pour the pomegranate juice over it, then the Cava. Drop a few pomegranate arils into the glass. Serve.

Steps:

• Start by making the dried orange slices to garnish. Spread out the orange slices on a lined baking tray. Heat oven to 110C/ 90C fan/gas ¼ and cook for 2 hrs. Can be done a day ahead and stored in a container.
• Pour the fruit juices, vodka, cinnamon syrup and orange blossom water into a cocktail shaker and add a couple of handfuls of ice. Shake well, then strain into two large wine glasses with more ice. Top up with cava and garnish with a slice of dried orange.

Steps:

• Place sugar in a champagne flute or cocktail glass; sprinkle with bitters. Add brandy; top with champagne. If desired, top with rosemary and cranberries.
