The Pairing
Assassin’s Fate, by Robin Hobb
The Reasoning
For a finale such as this, champagne seems only fitting. The culmination of 22 years of masterful storytelling by Hobb, the threads of an intricate and marvelous tapestry finally coming together in an incredible and fitting end. I laughed, I cried, and then I cried some more. It will stay with me forever.
The Recipe
You will need:
- Wine glass or champagne flute
- 2 oz Sandsedge Brandy (regular brandy will do, but up the peach juice by 1 oz)
- 1 oz peach juice
- Dry champagne
- Raspberries
- Sprig of mint for garnish
Measure brandy and peach juice into the bottom of your glass. Top up with champagne. Add 4-5 raspberries and mint sprig for garnish.
