Italian Sparkler Cocktail Recipe

“I first had this cocktail at the River Café years ago, and have been making it at home ever since. The lime takes the sweetness out of the wine, but keeps its mellow flavour.”

Ingredients (makes around six glasses)

1 x 75cl bottle of moscato d’asti or other sweet fizzy Muscat, chilled
The juice of 4- 5 limes (approx 250- 300ml), according to taste

Method

Pour the wine into a jug and then add the lime juice until you have reached a sweet-sharp balance you like.
