WoodbridgeEmeraldIsleCooler

Ingredients:
· 1 cup simple syrup (recipe below)

· 1 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice, about 3 to 4 lemons

· ½ bottle Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Chardonnay

· 2 cups water

· 2 cups ice cubes

· ½ seedless cucumber

Directions:
· Pour the ginger-infused syrup into a larger pitcher

· Add the lemon juice, chardonnay and water, and stir, then add ice

· With a vegetable peeler, remove and discard a lengthwise strip of skin from one side of the half-cucumber. Shave 8 to 10 long, paper-thin ribbons of cucumber into the pitcher. Push them down into the ice and stir gently, so the cucumber unfolds to make an attractive visual garnish in the lemonade

· Chill for at least 10 minutes for the flavors to meld, or up to an hour. Serve well-iced in tall glasses

Simple Syrup
Ingredients:
· 1 cup sugar

· 1 cup water

· 3 to 10 thin slices fresh ginger

Directions:
· Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Add 3 to 10 slices of fresh ginger, with 3 giving the finished syrup a mild ginger flavor and 10 yielding a more assertive result

· Simmer the mixture for 8 to 10 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved and the vapors rising from the pot smell noticeably of ginger

· Cool the syrup to room temperature, then strain out the ginger

· Chill the syrup until you’re ready to assemble the lemonade

Thanks to Casamigos Tequila and Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi for these great recipes!

  1. I have never used kiwi at the bar, but now I will. You always give me new concepts for cocktails. The long strips of cucumber are also very lovely. I always slice them in rounds, but the long ones are elegant in the glass. I am ready to go green now!!

  2. I love the idea of the long strips of cucumber. You can buy a gadget on Amazon or at a local cooking/gourmet store that will make long strips. You need to go circularly around a cucumber which can be awkward.
    I love the idea of a kiwi and on PINTEREST there is a board that shows how to skin a kiwi easily
