The Russian Spring Punch was created by Dick Bradsell in London. The name brings together the vodka base, spring-like berry character, and a punch format finished with sparkling wine. The cocktail is fresh, berry-led, and festive. Crème de cassis adds blackcurrant depth, while sparkling wine makes the drink lighter.
