This may sound a little strange as a New Year’s Eve dessert, but it’s a modern twist on the Spanish tradition of eating grapes for good luck, one grape being eaten for every strike of the clock at midnight on New Year’s Eve. You can substitute grappa for the aguardiente. This really works, incidentally as the combination of textures and flavours really go together. It’s also a great excuse for trying to get some good luck to come your way.
Ingredients:
1 bottle aguardiente (or grappa), chilled
2-3 bunches grapes, frozen
a few bars good-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids) [orange flavoured or chilli flavoured chocolates are particularly good]
Method:
Freeze the grapes, chill the grappa thoroughly then serve on a cheese board along with generous chunks of chocolate.
Guaranteed to make a New Year party go with a swing!
