The Fairy Godmother

January 17, 2009

Emily and Cat joined The A List so now they need to get their party on! You know what that means… cocktail time! These lovely ladies have been my BFFs since college and are friends so dear that they are like family. They are also my children’s godmothers. Or, as my darling daughter always calls them- the fairy godmothers, because they must be magical to always know exactly the right presents to send for Christmas and birthdays. So pop a cork and raise your glass to Emily and Cat!

THE FAIRY GODMOTHER

1/2 small, ripe honeydew melon
6 large raspberries
1 bottle dry champagne

A few hours before cocktail time, place the raspberries in a single layer on a small plate line with wax paper. Put in the freezer.

Peel and seed the honeydew. Puree until smooth in a blender.

Place one tablespoon of the honeydew puree in the bottom of a champagne flute. Top off with champagne. Drop a frozen raspberry into the glass to keep the drink cold.

Make a toast to friendship and enjoy.

Makes 6 cocktails.
