Cocktail Friday - The Grounds Of Alexandria 'The Valentine's' Cocktail

So pretty and so delicious, with Valentine’s Day now only a few sleeps away, we just couldn’t resist a little bit of this ‘love potion’. Created by Petr Pinos Jr, the head bartender at The Grounds of Alexandria, we think it’s the pretty pink colour that swooned us – or was it the flowers – or the rum mixed back with raspberries and creme de cassis? Or perhaps all three…. Happy Valentine’s Day love birds!

Ingredients:

30 ml  white rum
15 ml creme de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur)
15 ml creme de cacao dark
10 ml fresh vanilla cream
45 ml fresh raspberries

Method:

Place all ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shake! Pour into a beautiful glass (remember this serves 2). Top with some fresh flowers and fragrant herbs.
Tip: To go that extra mile and show off your skills, put some rosewater ice into the cocktail rather than normal ice.
