The secret ingredient in this delicious cocktail from C.P.K. is the new Ciroc Snap Frost Vodka. While other vodkas are made from potatoes, wheat, molasses, corn, or rye, Ciroc is the first vodka to be distilled from late harvest French grapes. These super sweet grapes and the 5-step distilling process makes this vodka unique and extra smooth, with a subtle fruity flavor that goes great with grape juice and the orange flavor of Cointreau. Plan ahead for this drink by piercing three red seedless grapes on a toothpick and popping them into the freezer for at least an hour. Or, if you're like me, you'll have a dozen or so of these garnishes sitting in a small bag in the freezer ready to go when guests show up for happy hour.
Ingredients: 1 1/4 ounces Ciroc Vodka 1/2 ounce Cointreau 2 ounces red grape juice
Garnish 3 red seedless grapes on a toothpick, frozen
Directions: 1. Fill an 8-ounce martini glass with ice to chill the glass. 2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. 3. Measure Ciroc Vodka, Cointreau and grape juice into the shaker. Cover and shake vigorously. 4. Dump the ice out of the martini glass, and pour the cocktail into the glass. 5. Garnish with three grapes that have been pierced onto a toothpick and frozen. Serve it up, or sip it yourself.
