This week's cocktail was inspired by a recent BSET (Best Song Ever Today: not necessarily your favorite song ever, but the song you're super excited to hear in the car today). When I heard Wires by Matt & Kim I knew it would make a great song pairing for a new cocktail, and so the 'Electric Sunburn' was born. The song is like popping sparks and electric energy and we wanted the drink to inspire the same feeling. The combination of lemon and cinnamon flavors add a lively energy to the bubbly and I'm pretty sure it's obvious what makes it pop. I promise this is the loudest cocktail you'll ever drink, with or without Wires playing in the background!
Ingredients:
Sparkling Wine (used Korbel Brut)
After Shock
Lemon
Pop Rocks (used Strawberry flavored)
Add 1/2 tablespoon of chilled After Shock (store it in the freezer) and 1/4 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to a champagne flute. Fill the flute with sparkling wine. Add a dash of Pop Rocks directly to the drink. ***As an alternative we tried coating the rim of the glass with Pop Rocks by wiping the rim with a lemon wedge and rolling in Pop Rocks. It looked cool, but pretty quickly crusted to the glass so wasn't my favorite option. I liked adding them directly to the drink better as it created a really unique look and sound.
