To make a Stockholm Royale, start by preparing a martini glass. Take a lime wedge and run it along the rim of the glass to moisten it. Then, dip the rim into a plate of sugar, rotating it to ensure an even coating. This will add a sweet and decorative touch to your drink.
Next, it's time to start mixing the ingredients. In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka and either simple syrup or sweet and sour mix. The choice between the two will depend on your personal preference. If you enjoy a slightly sweeter taste, go for the simple syrup. If you prefer a tangier flavor, opt for the sweet and sour mix.
Once the vodka and sweetener are in the shaker, give it a good shake to ensure they mix well together. This will also help to chill the ingredients.
Now, pour the mixture into the prepared martini glass, filling it about three-quarters full. It's important to leave some space at the top for the Champagne and Chambord float.
To add the bubbly and fruity touch, top off the glass with Champagne. Pour it slowly and carefully, aiming to fill the glass to the brim. The Champagne will add a delightful effervescence to your drink.
It's time for the Chambord float. Chambord is a raspberry liqueur that adds a burst of flavor and a beautiful rosy shade to the Stockholm Royale. Take a healthy splash of Chambord and pour it gently into the glass. You'll notice that instead of mixing with the other ingredients, the Chambord will sink to the bottom, creating a visually appealing layered effect.
Now your Stockholm Royale is ready to be enjoyed! The combination of vodka, sweetener, Champagne, and Chambord creates a harmonious blend of flavors that is both refreshing and indulgent.
Sit back, sip on your creation, and savor the delightful taste of this elegant cocktail. Cheers!
