Cocktail and caftan pairing is the new food and wine pairing! The color is
the clue! For our new caftans we’ve found bright, bold, fun colors: melon,
purple, watermelon, blushing pink… It’s so much fun matching these
colors with delicious cocktails.
Here are our new caftans and what we think you
should drink while wearing them… sipping at the pool, on the couch or at
a rooftop bar. Just celebrate the everyday moments with
our all-occasion caftans! It’s your time for luxury! Cheers to you!!
The Melissa Caftan in Purple & Lavender Lemonade Prosecco
Cocktail
The Lavender Lemonade Prosecco Cocktail is made of a homemade
lavender lemon syrup and your favorite Prosecco.
To make the syrup, combine 1 cup of sugar, ¼ cup of lemon juice, ¾ cup
water, 1 tablespoon of dried lavender, and 2-3 drops of neon purple food
coloring.
Simmer over low-medium heat for 15 minutes, allow to cool for 15
minutes, and pour through a fine mesh strainer to remove the lavender
buds from the syrup.
Then, fill the bottom of each glass with 2 oz. of lavender syrup, and top it
off with your favorite prosecco.
The Katherine Caftan in Watermelon & Watermelon Mojito
This is not a last minute recipe – you’ll have to prepare the puree and
mint syrup a couple of hours in advance.
For the mint syrup combine ½ cup of water, ½ cup of granulated sugar,
and about 20 leaves fresh mint in a small saucepan. Boil until sugar is
dissolved. Give time to chill.
Process watermelon cubes in a blender until smooth. Pour through a fine
mesh and chill the puree. Combine 1 cup white rum, 2/3 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice, 1 ½
cups of the watermelon puree, and the mint syrup in a large pitcher.
The Katherine Caftan in Blushing Pink & Rhubarb and Ginger Gin
Cocktail
This is more of a long-term planned cocktail. The ingredients need time
to infuse. But it’s definitely worth the wait!
Cut 340 g rhubarb stalks and put it in a suitable mason jar. Add 140 g
white caster sugar, 270ml Gin, and 2 slices fresh ginger. Place on a dark
shelf and shake it occasionally until the sugar is dissolved. Once all the
sugar is dissolved, pour off the gin. Make sure to squeeze out all the
liquid – the fruit absorbs a lot of it. You definitely don’t want to waste the
good stuff ;-)
The Melissa Caftan in Melon & Cantaloupe Margaritas
Melon meets Tequila and lime!
Blend 4 cups chopped cantaloupe until it is smooth. Strain half of the
blended cantaloupe through a sieve to remove the pulp, leave the other
half as is.
Fill a cocktail shaker with the puree, add ½ cup Tequila, ¼ cup lime juice,
2 Tbsp Orange Liqueur, and 1 Tbsp Agave Nectar. Shake well. Ready.
Makes 2 Margaritas.
Enjoy the cocktails & your favorite caftan! It’s your time for
luxury!
