COCKTAIL RECIPES

Loving wine does not mean foregoing beverages of other sorts

These cocktails were inspired by our love of good drinks and created by mix-master extraodinaire, Chris Stearns, who’s passion for cocktails was the perfect fit for our vision of dessert wine martinis.

Food and wine are a match made in heaven

Here are a few tried and tested combinations for pairing up with any of our dry wine selection.

In the Elephant Island world dessert equates to a food group of it’s very own, a very hallowed place on the recommended food guide pyramid. So go ahead and enjoy any one of the recipes listed for your main course – we do!

Some rules of thumb to go by when pairing the Elephant Island dessert wines with these desserts: (1) Don’t go sweeter (for the solid dessert course) than the wine you are intending to pour with it. (2) If your using chocolate cups for wine glasses, pour the wine in a few minutes (10-15) before serving. This allows for a very positive marriage of wine & chocolate. (3) The wine cancels out all calories in the dessert.
