Cocktail Description
The Tokaji Sunrise transforms Hungary's legendary dessert wine into a refreshing cocktail that belongs in your regular rotation.
This sophisticated drink balances the honeyed richness of Tokaji wine with crisp vodka and bright orange juice, all enhanced by a hint of vanilla that ties the flavors together beautifully. Your first sip reveals layers of citrus brightness backed by the wine's complex sweetness—think apricots, honey, and subtle oak notes. It's surprisingly easy to make despite its elegant profile, requiring just a good shake with ice before straining over crushed ice. The Tokaji Sunrise works wonderfully for brunch gatherings or as a pre-dinner drink when you want something more interesting than a mimosa but not as potent as a martini. For food pairings, try it alongside seafood appetizers like shrimp cocktail or smoked salmon canapes, where the drink's bright acidity and subtle sweetness complement without overwhelming.
