Ruby Dutchess
Tart and fruity with pomegranate, dry and lively from the champagne. Light and fresh.
Pomegranate juice and champagne, nothing more: that is the whole Ruby Dutchess. Little is documented about its origin or its name, which most likely refers to its ruby colour and elegant look rather than to any particular person or place.
It belongs to the large family of drinks that combine sparkling wine with fruit, alongside the Mimosa with orange juice, the Bellini with peach and the Italian Tintoretto, which uses pomegranate and prosecco in almost the same way. What sets these drinks apart is the fruit, and pomegranate offers something the others do not: a dry, slightly tannic tartness and a striking colour.
Pomegranate juice and champagne, about one part juice to two parts wine.
Yes. With prosecco it is very close to the Italian Tintoretto and a little fruitier.
Yes. Top the pomegranate juice with a dry alcohol-free sparkling wine or with soda water and a squeeze of lemon.
The perfect sound
Ruby red sparkle for a stylish celebration.
