Elit Christmas

Elit Christmas

A festive creation that will make any Christmas party sparkle

Difficulty and servings

Easy

Serves 10

Preparation and cooking times

15 minutes prep + 5 minutes assembly

Method

  1. Dip 10 redcurrant stems in the egg white, dust with caster sugar to create a frosted effect and put aside to dry (don't store them in the fridge as the effect will be lost), or leave them plain if you prefer. Place the remaining 20 redcurrant stems in a bowl and muddle with a rolling pin to release the juice.
  2. Add the cranberry juice, lemon juice, fraise de bois and vodka. Stir well, then strain through a plastic sieve into a container. Store in the fridge. When you're ready, divide the mix evenly between 10 champagne fl utes, top up very slowly with bubbly (this will keep both liquids separate in the glass) and decorate each glass with a redcurrant stem.

Recipe from olive magazine, January 2006.
