Weekend Cooking: Stanley's Tucci's Christmas Cocktail

Earlier this year I became totally obsessed with all things Stanley Tucci. I watched the movie Big Night, listened to and loved his book Taste, watched the first series of his TV series Searching for Italy twice and more! 



I still need to watch the second series of Searching for Italy and I am already looking forward to the next series he is going to be working on which is apparently about British food. Just call me a Tucci fangirl!



When I was thinking about what to post this week I thought it might be time to revisit some Stanley Tucci and bring you a Christmas cocktail recipe from his book.



A Christmas Cocktail


Here is my (as in Stanley Tucci's) holiday version of a Cosmopolitan



Serves 1



1 tablespoon pomegranate seeds


50ml Ketel On vodka


25ml Cointreau


25ml cranberry joice (either unsweetened or cranberry juice cocktail. Your preference)


25ml pomegranate juice


Ice


1 raspberry, 1 mint leaf and fresh rosemary, to garnish



Put the pomegranate seeds into a shaker and muddle until muddled


Add the booze


Add the juices


Add the ice


Shake it


Strain into a coupe or a Martini glass


Garnish with a raspberry wrapped in a mint leaf and skewered with a small stalk of rosemary.



Today, I just happened to looking at Youtube and I found this so it would be rude not to share it!!






 For us this year it is going to be more likely to be mulled wine rather than cocktails. Do you have a favourite Christmas cocktail?

  1. Taste was such a wonderful book - I ought to buy it as I've had it out of the library twice already. Love the video.

    1. I need to buy it in print too. I have it in audio which is such a great way to read it, but I did also borrow it from the library to read the recipes.
