Everyone loves a Royal Wedding, so in celebration of Prince William and Catherine Middleton’s recent engagement, our resident mixologist Matteo will be whipping up our specially created, and aptly-named, “Catherine & Wills” cocktail for those wishing to toast the happy couple.
Available in our Cocktail Bar, a mere 15 minutes away from Westminster Abbey where the ceremony will take place on 29 April 2011, the Royal Cocktail is a delicious concoction of Perrier Jouet champagne, mixed berries and a hint of Armagnac. Not only is it the perfect aperitif to a meal in The Grill, but it is easy for those wishing to re-create at home by following the recipe:
-
4 strawberries, plus one for decoration
-
3 raspberries
-
5ml raspberry eau de vie
-
10ml strawberry liqueur
-
20ml Armagnac
-
Perrier Jouet Champagne to top
-
Prepare a Champagne glass by adding a sugar rim.
-
Mix the four strawberries with the raspberries, raspberry eau de vie, strawberry liqueur and Armagnac.
-
Shake over ice and double strain into the prepared glass.
-
Top with Champagne and decorate with the remaining strawberry.
A toast to the Royal couple!
