Rudolph’s Red Nose Martini

This is the time of year to make the drinks look festive and, therefore, more enjoyable. You can dip the rims of the glasses in vodka and twist in raspberry syrup.

• 4 parts Vodka (Grey Goose is the best)
• 2 parts Chambourd (Black raspberry)
• 2 parts Creme de Cassis

Pour ingredients into a shaker filled with crushed ice. Shake until well blended and cold. Strain into chilled martini glasses, add a raspberry on the bottom.

Hint: If planning ahead, place the vodka in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to get cold.

Thank goodness, I thought I had stopped making martinis…..later.
