Sweet Road Home
[#ad]
Welcome back for our next @catanpisco and @settlersofcatan #sponsored drink! For number 6 in the series, we’re doing a long drink, inspired by the “Longest Road” card in the Settlers game. This is a riff on a French ‘75, which works great because the grape-based pisco and sparkling wine are natural partners. This riff is meant to highlight the wonderful floral notes in Catan pisco by bringing in elderflower and lavender. Top everything with a nice dry sparkling wine (I used a rosé brut), and the result is a delicious, refreshing, floral-leaning cocktail perfect for brunch or evening alike!
On a different note, this is my first photo not photographed on my phone. This page has not only been about cocktails and cooking, but also a personal journey as I’ve learned the basics of food and drink photography (starting from a baseline of basically nothing). I’ve wanted to get a camera for awhile now, and finally made the jump. Cameras are much more complex, and I’m exited to expand my photography skills!

1.25oz Catan Pisco
1oz Elderflower Liqueur*
0.5oz Lemon Juice
1 dash Lavender Bitters (@scrappysbitters)

Shake first four ingredients with ice until chilled. Strain into flute and garnish with lemon peel. Top with sparkling wine.
*I used @violetcrownspirits which is delicious and also pink, to go with the sparkling rosé.
