MENU DESCRIPTION: “Our Original! Featuring Ciroc Snap Frost vodka, an all grope vodka, combined with red
grope juice and accented with the sweet orange flavor of Cointreau and frozen red seedless grapes.” While other vodkas are made from potatoes, wheat, molasses, corn, or rye, Ciroc is the first vodka to be distilled from late harvest French grapes. These super sweet grapes and the 5-step distilling process makes this vodka unique and extra smooth, with a subtle fruity flavor that goes great with grape juice and the orange flavor of Cointreau. Plan ahead for this drink by piercing three red seedless grapes on a toothpick and popping them into the freezer for at least an hour. Or, if you’re like me, you’ll have a dozen or so of these garnishes sitting in a small bag in the freezer ready to go when guests show up for happy hour.
