Refreshing Persimmon Cocktail

This refreshing persimmon cocktail is a great alternative to mimosas. It’s fresh, not too sweet, and you get your dose of champagne!

I bought two persimmons on a whim the other day and I had no idea what to do with them. I decided to make a cocktail and enlisted my husband’s advice on what would work, as he used to be a bartender many moons ago.

We came up with a cocktail made up of persimmon puree, lime juice, creme de cassis (a liqueur made of blackcurrants), and topped up with champagne.

This would be a great cocktail for a holiday party or for brunch!

I like how this cocktail isn’t too strong. I was able to finish the *ahem* photoshoot samples without falling over like I normally would if I had more than one drink, you see.

Will you take advantage of this winter fruit and make these delicious persimmon cocktails?

Ingredients

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Instructions 

• Peel the persimmons (I cut them into smaller pieces, discarding the core, then use a knife to peel them).
• Add persimmon pieces, lime juice, and creme de cassis to blender. Blend until smooth.
• Pour mixture from blender into two martini glasses. Top up glasses with champagne and stir.

Notes

• I understand not wanting to buy a whole bottle of champagne to make this. We buy the small bottles of champagne (or sparkling wine/prosecco). A 200ml/6.8 oz. bottle makes two of these cocktails.
