Cremma Lemma

Red, White, and Bubbly

Get ready for the 4th of July with some fizzy fun! We’re keeping this one nice and simple so you can just sip and relax this holiday weekend.

Here’s what you need:

untitled-2-300x225-2

1 tbsp strawberry puree

2 oz Cremma Lemma

3 oz champagne

(Really, though, you can use whatever ratios you like).

untitled-3-300x225-2

Don’t forget! The cream in Cremma Lemma rises to the top and forms an all-natural plug in the neck of the bottle, so if you’re trying to pour but nothing is coming out, just give it a good shake! And if a little piece of the plug pours out, eat it! It tastes like boozy cheesecake. BONUS!

And now for the cocktail …

First, chill all ingredients and glassware.

untitled-6-300x225-1

Spoon 1 tbsp strawberry puree into the bottom of a chilled martini glass.

untitled-13-300x225-2

Sit the spoon on top of the puree, then gently pour Cremma Lemma into the bowl of the spoon to layer.

untitled-9-300x225-2

Just like so.

untitled-20-300x225-2

Carefully top with chilled champagne.

untitled-22-300x225-2

Cut the bottom of a strawberry for garnish.

untitled-21-300x225-2

Beautiful.

untitled-25-300x225-2

Add a festive blue straw to complete the patriotic look.

This is all you need:

strawberrypalmer-21-300x200-1

2 oz Hard Lemonade SweetShine

2 oz sweet tea vodka

4 strawberries

strawberrypalmer-31-300x200-1

Start with slicing your strawberries.

Strawberries and Hard Lemonade are a match made in (almost) Heaven!

strawberrypalmer-51-300x200-1

Quarter the berries and put them in a mixing glass, mason jar, anything with a lid.

strawberrypalmer-16-300x200-1

Add a little magic – 2 oz Hard Lemonade SweetShine

strawberrypalmer-9-300x200-1

Muddle. If you don’t have a fancy gadget like this just use any blunt object like the back of a wooden spoon.

strawberrypalmer-7-300x200-1

Now add 2 oz sweet tea vodka.

strawberrypalmer-8-300x200-1

Can’t find such a thing? Substitute regular vodka + sweet tea. Easy.

strawberrypalmer-10-300x200-1

Now add ice.

strawberrypalmer-11-300x200-1

Cover and shake until ice cold.

strawberrypalmer-12-300x200-1

The ice will dilute the drink a bit, which is what we want for this particular cocktail.

strawberrypalmer-13-300x200-1

Strain into a chilled cocktail glass, or over ice if you prefer.

strawberrypalmer-14-300x200-1

Garnish with a strawberry.
