Momma Metrosips' birthday is always two weeks before Mother's Day. I rarely seem to ever hit the mark for both...getting a card for her birthday, a gift for the holiday or vice versa. This year she's coming cross-country to visit me on her birthday, (!!!) and I think I have the perfect brunch cocktail to celebrate with.
Inspired by a lovely creme de cassis (black currant) and prosecco drink I had at Table, a new DC restaurant in the Shaw/Cardozo area, I experimented a little with some things I had on the shelf and came up with the following:
Makes 1 cocktail
1 T. creme de violette
2 dashes orange bitters
4 oz. prosecco
Turns out to have a lovely steel grey color! Very refreshing take on a bubbly drink, and good taste of spring. Enjoy!
