miss b loves.........Raspberry Prosecco cocktail

My love affair with Prosecco-based cocktails continues.........and this one is just perfect for a Valentine's Day tipple.


         Raspberry Prosecco Cocktail
Serves 2


4 tsp raspberry liqueur
A handful of fresh washed raspberries
Prosecco to top up


1. Spoon 2 tsp each of raspberry liqueur into two chilled Champagne flutes then drop in a few raspberries.
2. Hold a spoon inside the glass, over the top of the liqueur, and slowly pour in the Prosecco, pulling the spoon up slowly as you go - this will create the pretty two-tone effect


I used Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Conegliano Prosecco and Taste the Difference raspberry liqueur. You could use Cava instead of the Prosecco. 

Recipe from Sainsbury's

The ultra-chic Voda Bar

The new Ottoman-themed Jumeirah Zabeel Saray Hotel is located on the west cescent of Palm Jumeirah, Dubai. Its interior is lavish, influenced by Topkapi Palace in Istanbul with extravagent chandeliers and colourful artwork and marble but the purpose of our recent visit was to enjoy the ultra-chic surroundings of the Voda Bar, located on the ground level of the hotel.

This sophisticated bar just oozes style with the futuristic, white minimalist interior setting, sixties-style egg chairs and white sofas.

miss b's pink fizz

I have been trying to recreate a delicious lemony Prosecco-based cocktail  which I recently discovered at Rosso at the Amwaj Rotana Hotel at The Walk, Jumeirah Beach Residence, Dubai Marina. It has been an absolute pleasure(!) experimenting with the measures but after several attempts I think I've got it right (well it's very very similar) and I'm calling it 'miss b's pink fizz' of course!
