Total Eclipse of the Bar
With the impending eclipse here next week, I decided to go for a theme. I did a search of cocktails that had eclipse in their name, and came up with this little selection. Rob provided the accompanying graphics on his iPad, and so we were off, on an experimental evening of imbibing.
First up we had a light introduction to the evening. Closest companion would be a spritz. And this was delightful. The recipe says Prosecco, but here in Spain, you can get good Cava for under €5 a bottle, and so that’s what we went with. Cava being same same but different to Prosecco.
