The Kentucky Derby is here! Ladies, grab your hats. Men, grab the cocktail glasses. This year, this special sporting event coincides with the launch of GREY GOOSE® Cherry Noir, a masterful blend of high-end vodka and cherries handpicked in French Basque Country. To celebrate this new spirit, make and enjoy the following cocktail called the GREY GOOSE Cherry Lane:
1 ½ parts GREY GOOSE® Cherry Noir
¾ parts BÉNÉDICTINE® Liqueur
1 ½ parts Lemon
¾ parts Simple Syrup
1 dash Bitters
Mix all ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously.
Strain into a martini cocktail glass and garnish with cherries on a cocktail pick.
Thema’s Tip: As a Luxury Bartender, I can tell you that cheap vodka will ruin a cocktail. Therefore, always go for premium vodka such as Grey Goose®.
