Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.91 / 5
The Red Riding Hood cocktail is a vibrant and fruity concoction that evokes imagery of the fairy tale from which it derives its name. A combination of vodka and strawberry liqueur creates a sweet and berry-forward base, which is then complemented by the distinct, nutty notes of amaretto. The addition of champagne brings a festive and effervescent touch to the drink, enhancing its complexity and appeal. Served in an elegant champagne glass, the Red Riding Hood is a delightful mix that marries the robustness of spirits with the lightness of sparkling wine, offering a balanced and celebratory drinking experience.
