Pomelo Cocktails & August LOL Food Blogger Posts

After my last post, I had a good amount of pomelo syrup left over. What to do?  Cocktails of course!

Directions:

• Dip the rim of the glass in the syrup and then into a saucer filled with sugar.
• Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice.
• Shake and pour into glass straining the ice.
• Garnish with a slice of pomelo or in this case, candied pomelo rinds.

Directions:

• Pour pomelo syrup into a champagne flute
• Add the champagne
• Garnish with a slice of pomelo or in this case, candied pomelo rinds.

*Can substitute prosecco or sparkling water for a nonalcoholic version.

While you’re sipping your cocktail, check out the funny and entertaining food blogger posts that made me LOL this month…
