The Courtesan
Prep Time:
5 minutes
Total Time:
5 minutes
Ingredients
- 12.5ml Blossoms Sour Cherry Syrup
- 12.5ml Briotett Crème de Cerise
- 25ml Vintage Velvet Vodka
- 50ml Prosecco Argeo Ruggeri

The Specifications printed above are Clearly misprinted. Are the specs 25ml of each or 12.5ml of the 3 ingredients. Just wondering. Cheers
Hello Ben!
This is what he told me! I will double check with you but I think this is what Hammant was going for!
Thanks!
Regarding the Courtesan Cocktail: The instructions say to mix together equal parts of the first three ingredients, then top with Prosecco; however, the ingredients list calls for 12.5 ml of the syrup and the cerise respectively and 25 ml of the vodka, which means they are not equal parts. Surely the drink requires the full measure of vodka, so perhaps it would be good to rework the instructions.
Thank you so much for letting me know! I fixed it!!
