Four Seasons Ritz Lisbon is proud to participate in the Portuguese Fundão Cherry Gastronomical Tour of 2015.
The Fundão Cherry is one of the most typical and recognized Portuguese products, and the arrival of this fruit is synonymous with summer. Taking place from June 16th to July 6th, 2015, the Fundão Cherry Gastronomical Tour is an initiative that aims to promote the consumption of this very fruit.
The Ritz Bar's very own Barman, Francisco Ventura created a surprising Sweet Cherry Belinni, with Portuguese sparkling wine. Francisco says he's proud of the result; "above all, we managed to balance the acidity with the freshness and colour of the cherry. It's the perfect cocktail to enjoy on our terrace!"
In the Ritz Bar, it's served on a slate, with 2 chocolate cups filled with the tasty mixture of cherry liquor and yuzu juice, with a large, succulent Fundão Cherry.
For those who want to try the cocktail at home, Barman Francisco Ventura shares the recipe, as well as his presentation suggestions:
Sweet Cherry Bellini
2 cl cherry liquor
0,5 cl yuzu juice
To taste: sparkling wine
For the best crushed ice (and stress relief), Francisco suggests wrapping the ice in a towel and smashing it with a rolling pin. If you really want to impress, make the ice with mineralized water Fill the glass with the crushedice and slowly pour the sparkling wine up to two-thirds of the way In another cup, mix the cherry liquor with the yuzu juice, and slowly pour it into the glass until it's filled all the way up. Decorate with laminated Fundão Cherry, and serve in a cocktail glass.
