Gypsy Twinkle Fizzes

This post courtesy of our friend, Allie. She resides in the Chicago suburbs and has hijacked this blog due to obscene love for Dennis and Michelle and their food fantasy meanderings. She's actually writing this person in the third person and feels a little strange about it. Moving on...

This lovely little ditty was coined by Dennis as an impromptu mix to satiate thirsty visitors, and to start the day off right. Originally stolen (aka, "revised from") a Bobby Flay brunch cooking show (Brunch at Bobby's, thank you for this mimosa spin-off!) episode. Named by Allie though, because she has a penchant for strange names with ear-pleasing linguistic sound combinations.

 Gypsy Twinkle Fizzes

 

Ingredients:

- 1/2 bottle of dry champagne

- 1 8oz can of pineapple juice

- 6-10 oz grapefruit juice (depending on how tart you like it, this is definitely not overly sweet but for all of us, it was perfect. I don't even know how much he used. It's a mystery)

- 2-4 oz of gin (probably more. He used normal, dry gin. He initially refused to tell me the actual name, and then he did. Hendricks, he says. WE'RE SPONSORED BY NO ONE!)

- starwberry and basil leaf garnish (ungggg yum)

 

Directions:

1. Shake, mix, and wiggle? There's really no science to this, but just pour things into a cup and consume. At least that's how I cook. Can you tell why I don't have a food blog? I took some pictures, though.

 

 

Yet another spinoff, gyspy twinkle (toes) fizzes

 

And the reason for the visit? GLOW RUN 5K!
