    This refreshing persimmon cocktail is a great alternative to mimosas. It's fresh, not too sweet, and you get your dose of champagne!

    I bought two persimmons on a whim the other day and I had no idea what to do with them. I decided to make a cocktail and enlisted my husband's advice on what would work, as he used to be a bartender many moons ago.

    We came up with a cocktail made up of persimmon puree, lime juice, creme de cassis (a liqueur made of blackcurrants), and topped up with champagne.

    This would be a great cocktail for a holiday party or for brunch!

    I like how this cocktail isn't too strong. I was able to finish the *ahem* photoshoot samples without falling over like I normally would if I had more than one drink, you see.

    Ingredients
     

    • 2 persimmons
    • 1 shot creme de cassis
    • Juice from 1/2 lime
    • Champagne (or dry sparkling wine) to top up glasses

    Instructions
     

    • Peel the persimmons (I cut them into smaller pieces, discarding the core, then use a knife to peel them).
    • Add persimmon pieces, lime juice, and creme de cassis to blender. Blend until smooth.
    • Pour mixture from blender into two martini glasses. Top up glasses with champagne and stir.

    Notes

    • I understand not wanting to buy a whole bottle of champagne to make this. We buy the small bottles of champagne (or sparkling wine/prosecco). A 200ml/6.8 oz. bottle makes two of these cocktails.

      Oh, this is so beautiful! I have been seeing persimmons everywhere lately but I have never used them before. Also great idea on getting the smaller bottle of champagne.

        Thanks Meghan!! They're really nice and sweet and tasted a bit like a mango to me. If I hadn't used mine for the drinks, I would have just peeled and eaten them - they're so good.

      Wonderful cocktail, Natasha! I LOVE persimmons, so I am sure this is delicious! And I don't even mind to buy the whole bottle of champagne. 😉 Cheers!
