The Pomegranate Frost Caipirinha
The dreaded holidays (and the weight gain that inevitably accompanies them) are nearly upon us! Christmas, for instance, is just around the corner—and it seems that little miniature candy canes are lurking around every bend, tempting you. They’re everywhere—at the drycleaners, behind the receptionist’s desk in your office, in the lobby of your building—you just can’t escape them! If you’re going to survive this holiday season and still be able to fit into your favorite pair of skinny jeans, you’re going to have to ditch the sugar rush and indulge in a Pomegranate Frost.
The Pomegranate Frost Caipirinha
1 oz. Leblon Cachaça
1 oz. Pomegranate
4 drops Rosewater
A splash of Champagne
Pour the Leblon, pomegranate juice and rosewater into a shaker filled with ice. Shake well and strain into a champagne flute. Top with champagne.
Leanne Shear and Tracey Toomey met behind the bar many years ago, and amidst the craziness of the “scene” in Manhattan and the Hamptons, managed to co-author the novel The Perfect Manhattan, released by Random House in 2005. These days, instead of slinging drinks to pay the bills, they’re writing and business partners: their second book, Cocktail Therapy, was released by Simon and Schuster’s Spotlight Entertainment division in August. Branded as bar psychologists and experts in human behavior—not to mention mixologists—they also freelance for several magazines and newspapers including Glamour, Life & Style, Runner’s World, Item, the Huffington Post, and Hamptons.
