Recipe Tips
- Chill the tasting glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving to keep the small pours cold longer.
- Use a long-handled bar spoon to layer the 'Celebration' pour slowly over the back of the spoon.
- Serve with small palate-cleansing crackers or mild cheese between sips.
Make It Your Own
For a crowd: Multiply the fruit reduction batches and store in squeeze bottles. Pre-mix the coconut base. Assemble the flights just before serving to maintain carbonation.
Easy swaps: Replace granulated sugar with agave nectar for a different sweetness profile. Use lime juice instead of lemon for a sharper citrus note. Substitute sparkling water with club soda for a slightly saltier finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen berries for the reductions?
Yes, frozen strawberries and blueberries work well; simply increase the simmering time by 2-3 minutes to account for the extra moisture.
How long do the fruit syrups last in the refrigerator?
The strained strawberry and blueberry bases can be stored in airtight containers for up to 5 days.
Why is my coconut pour separating?
Ensure you are using full-fat canned coconut milk and whisk it vigorously before mixing with the chilled sparkling water.
