Cupid’s Kiss Cocktail
Cupid’s Kiss is a delicious cocktail recipe that is perfect for romantic date nights and to celebrate Valentine’s Day with someone you love. Think of it as romance in a glass. It’s fruity, bubbly, decadently delicious and can be easily transformed into a mocktail. Better still, you will look like a pro, but you don’t have to be a professional bartender to make it. Cupid's Kiss was created by our own Kate Gilbert, who runs FinaMill's social media and is an accomplished chef.
Wishing you all a Happy Valentine’s Day filled with love and great food!❤️
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup cinnamon hearts candy, divided
- 1 medium lime
- ice
- 1 medium pink grapefruit
- 1 1/2 oz white tequila
- sparkling water or club soda
Notes:
- Leave out the tequila and you have a delicious mocktail.
- Shaking the candies with the drink gives it a subtle spicy kick and deepens the pink color. Leave them out if you prefer!
- To make a larger batch of cocktails, maintain the proportions of 1 part tequila, ½ part lime, 2 parts grapefruit juice, soda to taste.
Directions:
1. Put half of the cinnamon hearts candy in a FinaPod GT. Grind them onto a plate until there is enough to rim your glass. Halve a lime and rub it on the edge of the glass to moisten. Dip the rim into the ground candy.
2. Add ice to a cocktail shaker.
3. Squeeze half a lime into the shaker (should measure about ½ oz).
4. Halve your grapefruit. Cut a slice from one side to reserve for garnish. Juice the grapefruit. Strain it, measure 3 oz juice, and add it to the shaker.
5. Add 1 ½ oz tequila to the shaker.
6. Add the remaining cinnamon hearts to the shaker if desired.
7. Shake well. Add ice to the cocktail glass, strain and pour the drink. Top with soda water to fill the glass or achieve your preferred strength.
8. Garnish with a quarter slice of grapefruit or a lime wedge.
