Ingredients

7 total
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 0.5 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 50ml spicy tamarind vodka
  • 50ml pomegranate juice
  • 50ml prosecco
  • 150ml (approx.) soda water, to top up
  • 2 slices lime, to garnish

Method

4 steps
  1. Step 1

    In a small pan, gently heat the sugar, chilli and 50ml water for about 5 mins, until the sugar has dissolved and you have a viscous syrup. Pour into a jug and leave to cool for 10 mins.

  2. Step 2

    Add lots of ice to a large wine glass. Pour in the vodka, pomegranate juice and 15ml of the syrup. Give it a stir, then pour in the prosecco (stirring the still ingredients before pouring in the sparkling ones ensures the flavours mix consistently through the cocktail without affecting how fizzy it is).

  3. Step 3

    Top up with soda water, add the lime slices and serve. Leftover syrup will keep for 1 week in an airtight container in the fridge, or store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

  4. Step 4

    Recipe Tip: Allow some extra time for cooling.
