Harry Winston was a renowned jeweler who was known for his diamonds. He even donated the Hope Diamond to The Smithsonian in the 50's. We all know diamonds are a girls best friend...so we named this drink after the daddy of diamonds. Traditionally this cocktail is called "Midnight" but here at A Pink Door we like to add a little twist for the ones who are in love. Click on the blog to learn how to make this delish and glamorous cocktail !
You will need:::Goldschlager::: A Cinnamon Schnapps known for its gold flakes floating in it.
You will need 1/2 an oz.
Dry Champagne::: Above are two of our favorites. Veuve Clicquot from France ($45 a bottle) and Great Western made in Upstate NY ($9 a bottle) Both are really tasty!
*Side note if you every go on a wine tour in the spring/summer months stop by Pleasant Valley Wine Co. That is where they make Great Western. They have a stunning tasting room.
Edible Glitter Flakes & Simple Syrup::: Edible glitter is a the rage in the cake world. We are going to use it to rim our glass. It comes in a array of colors. Check your local Craft stores, markets, or here to purchase some. The simple syrup will help the glitter to stick to the glass. Here is a Simple Syrup Recipe.
1. Place a bit of your simple syrup on a plate.
2. On a separate plate sprinkle some of your edible glitter. You don't need much it goes a long way. I like the white or silver glitter because it reminds my of diamonds. But have fun choose whatever color you like!
3. Take your favorite Champagne flute and rim it first in the simple syrup and then dip it in your glitter. I like to do all the glasses at once (if having a party) so that it can dry a bit before serving.
4. Take your bottle of Goldschlager and give it a good shake. This will get all the gold pieces moving around. We want to make sure that everyone has a bit of gold in their cocktail.
5. Pour 1/2oz. of the Goldschlager in the glass. You might have to shake it a few times to keep the gold moving.
6. Top it off with your favorite champagne.
Now watch all the gold flex do a lovely dance in the bubbles!
This is a spicy drink that will tickle any glamorous gals tongue for sure.
Hope you enjoy!
