Low Calorie Cocktail: Crimson Raider Teenie
The Courvoisier aroma comes across immediately, but it is the color of this cocktail that draws one in to devour it fully! Fresh blackberries are wonderful when ripe and in season. Take advantage of their hearty lushness. Quality unsweetened frozen blackberries will also do in a pinch when that thirst for summer just has to be quenched in the dead of winter.
