Alright, so we weren’t ACTUALLY invited to The Royal Wedding, duh.  However, we WILL be watching it live on TV, along with millions of other viewers, sobbing into our cocktails that we lost our chance to marry Prince William.  But well, we never really had a chance against Kate Middleton anyway…

With that said, Grey Goose sent us some Royal Wedding-inspired cocktail recipes to try out!  Have a drink with us.

Yours,

Grey Goose® Blushing Dutchess

• 2 parts Grey Goose® Vodka
• 3 wedges peeled and seeded grapefruit
• turbinado sugar for rimming the glass
• ½ teaspoon sugar
• 1 part triple sec

Rub the grapefruit around the outside edge of the glass and then roll in the turbinado sugar. Place the sugar and grapefruit in the bottom of a shaker, muddle thoroughly. Add Grey Goose Vodka, triple sec and ice. Shake well. Pour drink including ice and grapefruit into a rimmed rocks glass.

Grey Goose® White Tie and Tiara

• 1 ½ parts Grey Goose Le Citron® Flavored Vodka
• 1 part lychee juice
• 1 part white grapefruit juice
• ½ part fresh lime juice
• ¼ part jasmine syrup

In a cocktail shaker, combine all ingredients with plenty of cubed ice. Shake vigorously until shaker beads with sweat. Finish with a squeeze of grapefruit rind to release essential oils. Spray the inside of a martini glass with rose water, then strain and pour the cocktail and serve with a white flower
