Try a Sparkling Summer Solstice Cocktail

July 27, 2017 by Greta Brinkley 2 Comments

There are a few things that are more enjoyable in summer. Days are longer and more relaxed. People are out and about. It seems that we’re getting together with our friends more often. The farmer’s market is in full swing, and the berries are amazing.

Make this cognac based Sparkling Summer Solstice cocktail for your next get together. Perfect for brunch or weddings, too.

The Sparkling Summer Solstice has an unusual ingredient for a mixed drink cocktail – cognac.  Cognac is usually reserved for after dinner, but not any more.  It’s busting out, baby!  This is an amazing drink for dining al fresco or a brunch.  It would also be a really lovely signature wedding cocktail.

There are a few things you’ll need to make the Summer Solstice. You’re going to need a great bar set. You’ll also need some strawberry syrup.  Now, you can make your own by reducing strawberries and sugar with a little bit of water, or you can buy a good quality one. You’re also going to need cognac. This may or may not be something that you have in your liquor cabinet.  We like Remy Martin 1738® for this. And you’ll want a set of coupe cocktail glasses. Most people don’t have these glasses already.
