Teal Berry Tonic cocktail for Turn Up The Heat, A Celebation of Women Chefs
I was asked to create a teal cocktail using Rogue Spirits for the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance Gala, Turn Up The Heat: A Celebration of Women Chefs. This annual fundraiser is for a great cause with a who's who of DC's best Women Chefs (*). Encourage your friends and politicos in DC area to buy a ticket or table for 10, and join us on Feb 15th at the Ritz Carlton. http://www.ovariancancer.org/gala/
Teal is the color of the cause against Ovarian Cancer, so my cocktail is called the Teal Berry Tonic. Mix 2 parts / jiggers of each:
I did not have Blue Curacao at home and picked up the teal colored cocktail mixes at ShopRite. Martini Gold Wildberry, which was sweeter than Rose's. I tried making a blueberry simple syrup (using 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup rum, 1/3 cup truvia, 1 cup of smashed blueberries boiled for 10 minutes and strained through cheesecloth) which was delicious but deep purple in color--and a great addition to blueberry pancakes!
(*) Back to the Gala on Feb 15th - members of the Women Chefs & Restaurateurs Assoc are involved in this event, me included. Here is the who's who...
