COCKTAIL RECIPE
Russian Spring Punch
Russian Spring Punch is a lively and refreshing cocktail made with vodka, fresh lemon juice and sugar syrup combined with sparkling wine. Slightly sweet, citrusy and sparkling, it is ideal for celebrations and summer evenings.
The Russian Spring Punch was created by Dick Bradsell, a key figure in the modern cocktail world. As London's bar culture was booming in the 1990s, Bradsell was known for developing new drinks that made classic cocktail recipes more fun and lively. This cocktail is one of his creative recipes.
The structure of the drink is actually inspired by classic "Tom Collins" style cocktails. However, the use of sparkling wine instead of soda water gives the drink a more elegant and celebratory character. The clean aroma of vodka, the fruity flavors of cassis liqueur and the lively tartness of lemon juice create a balanced combination.
“New beginnings often start with a small spark.”
