Inspired in a 19th Century Portuguese Romancist who as died three years after the Bartending Book " The Mixicologist " was first released, this recipe tells us the story and romance of Antonio, a Portuguese Imigrant in France who falls in love with a young French girl called Valérie.

So in order to declare himself his love for her, he invites her to a pic-nic in Provence where he prepares a delicious aromatic drink and names it after her name.

This is a sharing Cocktail to be enjoyed together after dinner or outside in the hot summer days.

"Je Suis Valérie"

100ml Vodka Ciroc.

4 drops Orange blossom water

50ml Plum purée

80ml grapefruit juice

Dash grapefruit bitters

30ml Port & Chardonnay reduction

Garnished with dehidrated grapefruit and edible flowers

This Cocktail is my suggestion for Diageo Worldclass Competition burst 2 in Portugal.
