Pomelo Cocktails & August LOL Food Blogger Posts

by Lora Wiley-Lennartz

After my last post, I had a good amount of pomelo syrup left over. What to do?  Cocktails of course!

Pomelo Martini

Ingredients:
  • 1 oz of Vodka (preferable from the freezer)
  • 1/2 oz Pomelo Syrup
  • Dash of simple syrup

Directions:

  • Dip the rim of the glass in the syrup and then into a saucer filled with sugar.
  • Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice.
  • Shake and pour into glass straining the ice.
  • Garnish with a slice of pomelo or in this case, candied pomelo rinds.


Pomelo Bellini
Ingredients:
  • 3 oz Champagne*
  • 1 oz pomelo syrup

Directions:

  • Pour pomelo syrup into a champagne flute
  • Add the champagne
  • Garnish with a slice of pomelo or in this case, candied pomelo rinds.

*Can substitute prosecco or sparkling water for a nonalcoholic version.

Hey Lora! I could use a cocktail with some pomelo syrup-that sounds great right now.
p.s. I want to live in a small German village (smile)!
