Scotch Fizz

Welcome to this year's blog project, Friday Night Cocktails.  I am not much of a cocktail drinker as I never had much on hand to make them with and I thought this would be a great excuse to get mixing.  Friday night is when we come home, have a glass or two of wine and chillax on the couch after a long week at work, this will be the same, except we will have a cocktail in hand, which may mean we have to rethink the couch/tv thing as cocktails usually call for a little more glamour.

Are you wondering what to do with all that left over sparkling from New Years?  How about trying a Scotch Fizz:

1 shot Single Malt Scotch Whisky
1/2 shot Cointreau
Sparkling
Shake Scotch and Cointreau with ice, serve into champagne flute and top with sparkling.

Hubby:  Gives champers a kick with a slight after burn thanks to the Scotch.  4/5
Me: Refreshing and ideal for a little something extra, enhances the dryness of the sparkling and leaves a little orange aftertaste in your mouth.  4.5/5
Perfect for: A pre dinner drink or sitting at a bar sipping slowly, not one to share with the girls.
Try it: When your Hubby wants Scotch and when you are over all the sweetness of most cocktails.
