At Barmalade®, every holiday moment should be cherished and celebrated, and New Year’s Eve is no different. To commemorate this particular night, we’re introducing you to a festive cocktail recipe that will surely add sparkle to your night: the Cranberry Fruit Cava.
This refreshing and vibrant concoction is easy to prepare, delightfully blending tart cranberry, zesty lime, and the bubbly charm of cava. It’s the perfect beverage to ring in the new year in style. The cranberry adds a touch of sweetness and tartness, while the lime provides a citrusy zest, creating a harmonious balance of flavors that awaken your taste buds. With its elegant bubbles and slightly sweet flavor, Cava seamlessly blends with the other ingredients, making the cocktail genuinely irresistible.
Cranberry Fruit Cava Cocktail
Ingredients:
1 oz Blood Orange-Guava Barmalade®
1 oz Deep Eddy Cranberry
½ oz Giffard Lichi-Li
½ oz Pomegranate Juice
¼ oz Fresh Lime Juice
3 oz Cava
Instructions:
The Cranberry Fruit Cava is incredibly easy to prepare. Simply combine all ingredients except cava in a shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until chilled and well-combined. Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or flute glass and top with cava. If you don’t have cava, prosecco, or other sparkling wine can be a great substitution. You can garnish the drink with a fresh cranberry or a sprig of rosemary and enjoy!
What is Cava?
When it comes to the fine art of winemaking, France often takes center stage, but let’s not overlook Spain, a country that also boasts an impressive array of both sparkling and still wines. Take, for instance, Cava – Spain’s answer to Champagne and Prosecco. This sparkling gem is not only delectable but usually comes with a more wallet-friendly price tag compared to its French and Italian counterparts.
Similar in production methods, Cava, along with Champagne and Prosecco, is named after the place where it’s crafted. Cava specifically owes its name to the cool, dark cellars of Spain, where it was traditionally stored and aged to perfection.
The Unique Taste of Cava
Cava strikes a unique balance in taste – it’s drier than Prosecco yet sweeter than Champagne, making it a versatile choice for various palates. It comes in a range of colors, including the classic white (blanc) and a delightful rosé (rosat), with dryness levels stretching from brut nature (very dry) to dolç (quite sweet)
Celebrating with Cranberry Fruit Cava
As you raise your glass of Cranberry Fruit Cava to toast the new year, take a moment to savor the flavors and reflect on the past year. Let the crispness of the cranberry remind you of the freshness of new beginnings, the zest of the lime evoke the excitement of new experiences, and the bubbles of cava symbolize the endless possibilities that lie ahead. Cheers to a year filled with happiness, prosperity, and unforgettable moments!
