Mother's Day is one of those occasions that calls for a little extra love. The Ruby Revelation was designed with exactly that in mind. Built around the Leopard's Leap Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir, this pretty pink sipper brings together seasonal citrus, a little kick, a hint of sweetness, and a lot of finesse. Everything you'd want in a glass on a day made for slowing down.

Perfect for that one day a year when all you have to do is relax and enjoy the love.

Happy Mother's day! 

Ingredients

50ml    Leopard’s Leap Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir

50ml    Ruby grapefruit juice

25ml    Honey simple syrup

50ml    Tequila

15ml    Cranberry juice

5ml      Fresh lemon juice

Ice

Method:

1. Prepare the honey simple syrup in advance by combining equal parts honey and warm water, stirring until fully dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool before use.

2. Place your serving glass in the fridge or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail.

3. Build the cocktail base by adding the tequila, ruby grapefruit juice, and honey simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.

4. Fill the shaker with ice and shake well for 10-15 seconds, until the mixture is properly chilled.

5. Discard any ice from the chilled glass and strain the cocktail into the glass. For a cleaner finish, you can double strain to remove excess pulp or ice shards.

6. Gently pour a small splash of cranberry juice into the glass. This should subtly enhance the colour and brightness without overpowering the drink.

7. Slowly top up the cocktail with leopard’s Leap Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir, pouring gently to preserve the bubbles.

8. Garnish with a fresh grapefruit slice or an elegant citrus twist and serve immediately while well chilled.
