100mlBarker’s Squeezed NZ Blackcurrant fruit syrup
1lime
Champagne or Prosecco
Instructions
To make Ice Spheres
Prepare two glasses that the water-filled balloons can be suspended in whilst in the freezer. Have at hand two sturdy skewers or chopsticks to tie the balloons to and to suspend over each glass. Take one balloon, open the neck and slide it over the kitchen tap. Slowly turn on the water flow and fill the balloon with enough water to make a small sphere (to fit into a martini glass or the glass you’ve chosen). Tie the balloon to the chopstick, suspend it over the glass, and repeat. Place the glasses with balloons in the freezer overnight.
To make Cocktail
Pulse the fresh blackberries and blackcurrant fruit syrup a few times, so there is still texture. Place one tablespoon of the blackcurrant mixture in the base of each martini glasses.
Take the frozen balloons out of the freezer. Run under a tap for a few seconds, then cut and peel away the balloon. Discard the balloon and place the ice-sphere in the martini glass on top of the blackcurrant mixture.
Top up glass with your choice of Champagne or Prosecco. Squeeze half a lime over each.
To mix, simply turn the ice-sphere around in the glass so the blackcurrant mixture mixes with the Champagne or Prosecco.
