Prep for Cocktail Corner #87 French Martini, Pear Brie Skewers #chambord #vodka #brie #pear #holiday
Hi Friends,
Wishing you all a very Happy New Years celebration.
Here's to a year of blessings and beyond.
In the spirit of this holiday season I’ve got a couple of tasty treats for you!
These Pear and Brie cheese salad skewers are made with arugula, walnuts, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. They're such a quick + easy, sweet + savoury party appetizer idea that your guests will love!
The French Martini is a relatively popular cocktail made of vodka, raspberry liqueur (Chambord) and pineapple juice. Although not really a martini, this cocktail is a wonderful sweet, but not too sweet, drink for special occasions, even if that special occasion is sitting at home.

Pear Brie Skewers
Ingredients (serves 8)2 pears
Lemon juice
Approx. 8 ounces brie cheese (~225 grams)
Approx. 2 cups baby arugula
Approx. 1/4 cup raw walnuts, chopped
Balsamic glaze, to drizzle (or balsamic vinegar)
Instructions
Slice pears into quarters and remove seeds and stem.
Cut quarters into roughly 1/2-inch cubes (dip in lemon juice to prevent browning).
Cut brie cheese into similar-sized, 1/2-inch cubes. TIP: I found that leaving the rind on made the skewers a little less sticky to handle!
Take a small (4-inch) skewer, and thread a piece of pear, a bundle of arugula, and then a piece of cheese onto it. Place skewer on a serving platter and repeat until all cheese and pears are used up.TIP: fold the arugula in half to make it a smaller bundle and thread the skewer onto the rind part of the cheese!Gently press a few pieces of chopped walnuts onto the brie cheese so that they stick. Drizzle balsamic glaze overtop of skewers and enjoy!
French Martini
The French Martini is made with vodka, raspberry liqueur (Chambord) and pineapple juice. But you can adjust each of the ingredients to your taste. You can also make a sparkling French martini by adding a splash of prosecco, sprite/7-up, or club soda depending on the level of sweetness you desire.
INGREDIENTS
1 oz Vodka
1 oz Chambord (raspberry liqueur)
3 oz Pineapple Juice
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Put all ingredients into a shaker with ice, and shake.
2. Strain into a chilled martini glass.
3. Top with 1-3 fresh raspberries, lemon twist or pineapple chunks and serve.
Cheers

    No rim on a cosmo, and STOP WITH THE LIME SYRUP. There is no “firecracker” as presented. Missing the cayenne. This is literally a cosmo and built wrong

  • @wmumoose1
    @wmumoose1 3 місяці тому

    I have NO idea how she messes up these established drink recipes. Coconut rum is not green chartreuse, mezcal and dark rum. We won’t even go into how that’s entirely the wrong garnish. Color is close, but I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess there’s no chocolate bitters or seaweed/kelp powder garnish. 🤦🏼‍♂️

  • @wmumoose1
    @wmumoose1 3 місяці тому

    Lime syrup is not the same as fresh lime. Please stop

  • @wmumoose1
    @wmumoose1 3 місяці тому

    Dear God, on behalf of Italians, stop. Caprese is NOT peach. It’s tomato.

  • @wmumoose1
    @wmumoose1 3 місяці тому

    Strike one, no simple syrup. Two, the “floating” mint leaves should be bruised a bit to release the oils. Otherwise, you just have floating leaves. There is way too much junk in here to be a mojito. Lime, coconut, mango, pineapple mint? A real mojito is lime and mint. This is insanity

  • @wmumoose1
    @wmumoose1 3 місяці тому

    Soooooo.. let’s count the mistakes again. One, fresh lime juice is NOT lime syrup. Two, garnish is wrong. Should be a grapefruit wedge. You can’t make this many mistakes in a simple build

  • @wmumoose1
    @wmumoose1 3 місяці тому

    So this “cosmopolitan” doesn’t have orange liqueur (strike one), is made without cranberry juice (strike two), and has a sugar rim (cosmos don’t have a rim, that’s daiquiris and margaritas, strike three) strike four, that’s not lime juice, that’s lime syrup. It’s the same product as grenadine syrup. No one calls grenadine “pomegranate juice” No rules were followed. If you plug the ingredients into Google, she made a flat Zipper (Zipper has lemon lime soda, she used lime syrup)

      Yes, I used coarse sea salt for the rim. Thanks for your comment. The contrast of the salt with the grapefruit juice made for a very interesting cocktail. Cheers!
