Clinton Kelly made drinks inspired by all of his co-hosts except Carla – what gives??? I’d have made a lemonade drink with a good bourbon from Carla’s home state of Tennessee. Oh well.
Daphne’s drink was a Pomegranate Sunset. I Ozzified it by making a syrup using agave nectar in place of the white sugar – 1 part agave to 2 parts pomegranate juice.
As usual, I made a few changes:
- I didn’t have any regular vodka, but had some vanilla vodka in the freezer, so I used that instead.
- I used sparkling mineral water in place of seltzer water because that is what I had on hand,
- Since I still had nearly a full jug of organic apple cider left from last week’s Apple Pie Yogurt dessert, I used it in place of the orange juice.
- I used a cinnamon stick and a quick grind of nutmeg as garnish rather than go buy mint which probably wouldn’t have gone very well with apple cider anyway.
The final product was tasty enough, but had way more calories and sugar than my usual cocktails. I’d rather have a mojito or a Skinny Girl margarita, especially since it’s still in the 90s here in Arizona.
