Charm City Fizz Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Place the thyme and limoncello in a glass and mash with a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon for 2 minutes.
• 2. Strain the limoncello and pour it into a blender along with the Chardonnay, ice, egg white and gin. Blend until smooth and frothy. Pour into a chilled glass and finish with a splash of club soda. Garnish with the remaining sprig of thyme and a twist of lemon.

Steps:

• Pour 1 tablespoon orange liqueur and 1 tablespoon cranberry juice into each of 4 champagne flutes. Add 3 cranberries to each flute and fill with Prosecco. Garnish with the rosemary sprigs and serve.

Steps:

• Add the blueberries to a lowball glass and crush with a muddler. Add the Fresh Mint Syrup and fill the glass with ice. Top with the sparkling lemonade and stir everything together with a spoon. Thread 3 blueberries and the mint sprig on a small skewer and set on the side of the glass for garnish. Serve immediately.
• Stir together the sugar and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the sugar completely dissolves, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat. Use your hands to tear the bunch of mint in half and add it to the saucepan. Using a spoon, press down the mint to make sure that it is completely submerged. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature in the saucepan, about 1 hour. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer set over a small bowl or liquid measuring cup. Use the back of a spoon to press down on the mint to extract as much flavor as possible. The syrup can be used immediately and will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• In a pint glass, muddle 5 raspberries. Add the chocolate and hazelnut liqueurs and muddle again. Add stout beer and pour into a champagne flute. Pour champagne or sparkling wine over the back of a spoon into the glass to top off the drink. Garnish rim with fresh raspberry.
