The Balanced Budget

“Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.”

Have you balanced your ledger lately and cut the fat? Its tax day so while you are preparing to pay Uncle Sam his cut, make sure you are getting what you need from those around you. The Drink du Nuit will help you get a start… I present to you…

DRINK du NUIT: THE BALANCED BUDGET

INGREDIENTS:

1 oz. berry vodka (Ciroc Red Berry)
1 oz. blue curacao ( DeKuyper)
¼ oz. cherry liqueur (Luxardo)
1 oz. soft-whipped creamed flavored with strawberry or pomegranate puree (directions below)

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a mixing glass filled with ice, stir the first three ingredients, and then strain into a flute glass. Use the bowl of a bar spoon to pour the lightly whipped berry-flavored cream. Garnish with half strawberry on the rim.

FLAVORED WHIP INSTRUCTIONS:

Strawberry or Pomegranate Whipped Cream (one cup)

Shake 4 oz. of heavy-whipping cream with 4 oz. of puree.

Shake without ice.

Pay attention not to whip the cream too much (it has to be fluffy and runny).

Store the flavored cream in the shaker in the refrigerator

BARTENDER TIP:

CREAM makes pre-made flavored and alcohol infused whipped cream. CREAM comes in Raspberry, Chocolate, Cherry, Caramel, Orange and Vanilla flavors. You can usually pick it up on the shelf at the liquor store and save yourself some time… It can also heighten the bedroom action if you are into that kind of kinky stuff.
