Poinsettia recipe

Cornish Arancello from Atlantic Distillery, cranberry juice and champagne make up this poinsettia recipe. Ruby red in colour, it's named after the festive poinsettia flower. 

Our take on a poinsettia cocktail uses limes and a dash of sugar, shaken with arancello and cranberry juice, topped with champagne and a twist of lime peel to serve.

Ingredients

Served in a martini glass

• 25ml Cornish Arancello

• 35ml Cranberry juice

• 1/2 juice of a lime

• 10ml Gomme/sugar syrup

• Champagne (we use Laurent Perrier)

• Cocktail shaker

Method

1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
2. Add arancello, cranberry and lime juice.
3. Shake hard. 
4. Double strain into a martini glass
5. Top glass with champagne
6. Garnish with a twist of lime

Atlantic Distillery

We would struggle to get more local than the Atlantic Distillery. It's located just a couple of miles away from Watergate Bay on a farm in Newquay. On their smallholding, the team grow fruit and fresh herbs which will often inspire the next small batch bottle of flavoured gin and liqueurs.
