A long, light, and refreshing recipe that’s as suited to celebrating the holidays as it is being enjoyed in a warm and sunny garden. There’s never a bad time for a Russian Spring Punch. Just proceed with caution, it packs a punch!
It’s a less well known classic created by the legendary London Bartender, Dick Bradsell. The man who also gave the world the Espresso Martini and the Bramble…what a resumé!
The Russian Spring Punch cocktail recipe is essentially a supercharged Kir Royale, or a long, champagne charged twist on a Bramble. Either way you want to describe it, it’s a simple to make and delicious recipe that not only looks like a celebration, it feels like a celebration too.
All of which makes this a perfect recipe to batch and bottle for a party. Just serve in a bottle along with tall glasses, ice, fresh garnishes and a selection of spirits for your guests to mix it with. It can be mixed with a variety of spirit bases, and anything light and dry works particularly well. Think light rum, gin, vodka or an agave distillate.
So, mix some up for friends, as Dick originally invented it for, and make it as well known as it deserves to be.
