A bubbly beginning to a Christmas Eve six course meal.
The tartness of the pomegranate juice, the citrus bite from the Kumquats and the kick from the vodka all welcomed the splash of Cava on top of this delightful cocktail.
2 Kumquats quartered (per serving)
3 oz vodka
1/4 oz simple syrup
1 oz pomegranate juice
2 oz Cava (or other sparkling wine)
Muddle Kumquats, simple syrup, and ice in metal shaker.
Add vodka and pomegranate juice, then shake.
Strain into glass. I used champagne flutes, but martini glasses would be appropriate as well.
Top off with Cava or other sparkling wine of your choice.
Garnish with Kumquat.
Cheers and Happy New Year!

I was thinking I needed a warm wine today (It's so cold in Paris), but this drink looks delicious!
Mmmm, yes please!
As for the cold weather, I just had a really good drink. It was just hot apple cider with a shot of Bacardi gold in it. Great compliment to the cold and snow outside.
