The martini asti rita

I found my newest favourite drink. And its wildly impractical to drink alone.  Well no its not. It just seems it to me! The martini asti rita.  Everyone knows I like me a margarita.  And im very retro 70s and adore a bottle of asti. The kind of drink where the first doesn't touch the sides. Sweet fizzy and moreish.  Just love it. And stumbled on a recipe that combines those two drinking loves
Started with my local coop having martini asti reduced from £9.35  to £4 way hey combined with a coupon I can get 5at £3 each
So the recipe. From martinis facebook page. Is in parts. So I equated a 'part' as 40ml. Obviously you can do any you want
So......
3parts martini asti (120ml)
3/4 part tequila (30ml)
1/4part orange liquor (10ml)
1/2part lemon juice (20ml)
1/2 part grenadine (20ml)
Shake last four with ice. Strain into glass. Top with asti
I don't know what it is but grenadine takes me right back to childhood.  Obviously I wasnt drinking cocktails back then!

Anyway. Its five something on a sunday morning.  I guess I should be asleep!
