Ingredients
Preparation:
Pour the lime juice and cane sugar syrup into a glass. Then add the well-chilled Gewurztraminer. Mix gently to balance the acidity of the lime and the aromatic roundness of the Gewurztraminer. Top up with sparkling water to give the cocktail a lightness. Add a few ice cubes and serve immediately, well chilled.
Why use Gewurztraminer in a cocktail?
Gewurztraminer from Alsace is a particularly interesting wine for mixology. With its floral, fruity, and slightly spicy aromas, it brings a distinctive flavor to cocktails.
In the Gewurz Blossom recipe, it offers natural aromatic intensity, a rich and rounded texture, and perfect balance with the acidity of lime.
It is an excellent alternative to classic spirit-based cocktails, for a lighter but equally tasty aperitif.
Preparation tip
For an even more elegant cocktail, you can add a slice of lime, a few edible flowers to echo the floral character of Gewurztraminer, or a zest of citrus to accentuate the freshness.
Served in a pretty glass with plenty of ice, the Gewurz Blossom Cocktail will quickly become one of your summer aperitif staples.
