How To Make Persimmon Champagne Cocktail

This lovely cocktail is made using the Fuyu Persimmon fruit.

The seasonal orange fruit, native to East Asia, is rich in vitamin A, potassium, magnesium and fiber.

They also contain shibuol and betulinic acid, which have anti-cancerous properties.

Persimmon are in season during fall and winter, and they add a mild sweetness and wintry feel to a champagne cocktail.

With the beneficial properties of this fruit, what excuse is there?

I think this would be an ideal cocktail for festive occasions that fall during this fruit’s seasonal months; Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve spring to mind.
