Fun Drink Friday - The Lady Edith

Lady Edith
makes 1 cocktail

1 1/2 ounce ruby red grapefruit juice (fresh-squeezed!)
1/2 ounce sloe gin (see note)
Sweet roseé champagne, chilled, such as Ballatore Spumante Rosso
Add the grapefruit juice and sloe gin to a flute. Top with champagne. Stir and serve.
Note: Do yourself a favor and get the Plymouth sloe gin. If you can't find the Plymouth sloe gin (or another variety made with real sloes), I would recommend leaving it out altogether.

This drink was inspired by Downtown Abbey and while I have not had a chance to catch the program, this drink looks like a hoot :-)
Go read the blog at The Kitchn, it explains more about the drink and its creation.
