What to drink on last day of Summer?
One option could be a Pomegranate Fizz or 'Granatapfel Fizz' in German, one of the cocktails offered in Cocktails and Starters section of Neue Cuisine 'The Elegant Tastes of Vienna' (Rizzoli New York, October 11, 2011) by Kurt Gutenbrunner.
Here's the Pomegranate Fizz recipe:
An Austrian take on the classic gin fizz, this colorful cocktail is prepared with pomegranate juice and a splash of elderflower syrup, which makes the drink both sweeter and tarter than the original.
Ingredients for 1 Serving
Ice cubes
2 tablespoons pomegranate juice
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) gin
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Splash of elderflower syrup (see Tips,
page 43)
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) Sekt or other sparkling wine
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the pomegranate juice, gin, lemon juice, and elderflower
syrup, shake well, and strain into a tall Champagne flute. Top off with Sekt, and serve.
