Naartjie-Paloma cocktail with Champagne šŸ„‚

It’s my sister’s second lockdown birthday so in her absent honour, I have decided to make her a 🄁


Naartjie-Paloma cocktail with Champagne šŸ„‚


Get together a lemon, a naartjie, some tequila, rosemary sprigs, lemon syrup, glasses, ice and MCC or Champagne


• Squeeze the naartjie like a lemon to juice it

• Pour naartjie juice into a cup or glass or fancy bar shaker, add some ice blocks (about 6 will do) and a tablespoon of lemon syrup

• Pour two tots (approx 50ml) of tequila over the ice as well and stir this leisurely to allow enough melt and release some flavour and dilute the tequila somewhat

• Put a rosemary sprig in each glass and a small thin lemon (you can also use lime) wedge

• Pour this mix through a strainer, sieve, or just take the ice out and divide equally between the two garnished glasses

• Get the bubbly out the fridge and ready to open - perhaps move to the lawn, and if you have a sword and it warrants a Sabrage-opening ask all kids and dogs to stand clear… šŸ—”


SMALL TIP…

**Do not open the bubbly over your wooden cabinet bar, if it sprays you have to stop and clean everything to save the antique wooden shelves…

(don’t think messing like this is very French, might be more Mexican! Do not slurp the champagne off the shelf even if you feel like it šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤©)


• Top the glasses up with the bubbles, give a nice stir, find someone to hold the other glass, and in your best French say ā€œbonne santĆ©ā€ - to good health šŸ¾ 🄳

Thank you for sharing this delightful Naartjie-Paloma cocktail recipe! I’m curious, how did you come up with the idea of pairing naartjie with champagne? It seems like a perfect refreshment to enjoy during breaks from playing run 3—what a great way to unwind after those challenges!

The Naartjie Paloma sounds bright and refreshing, with a lovely citrus touch for a celebration. For a quick change of pace afterward, IO games can be an easy way to keep things entertaining.

I enjoyed playing this game because it feels accessible and straightforward. There were no complicated controls to remember, so I could focus more on the actual gameplay. The tiranga login visual presentation is clean, and the rounds move at a good pace. It is a nice choice when you want something interactive and easy to explore.

I was looking for some fresh drink ideas when I found Cocktail Recipes Jalbitedrinks. The recipes are explained clearly, and I liked having different options to consider for making drinks at home.

The naartjie and rosemary combo sounds so festive, and what a sweet way to toast your sister’s lockdown birthday from afar. I love that you stir the tequila over ice before adding the bubbles—definitely trying that this weekend. By the way, I keep a home cafĆ© brewing guide I like to share: https://homecafelab.com/
