It has been awhile since I posted a martini……is there any other kind of drink, especially when used as a signature drink? They are not hard to make, but to make it well takes practice. You want to be known as the ‘great martini maker’.
You will need:
- 4 parts Cranberry Vodka
- 1 part Grand Marnier
- 1 part white Cranberry juice
Fill martini glasses with ice. Pour the ingredients into a shaker filled with crushed ice and shake well. Remove ice from glasses and strain ingredients into chilled glasses. Garnish with a couple of fresh cranberries and a lime twist.
If you serve it in a white martini glasses, the red cranberry colour really ‘pops’. Great look, wonderful flavour, yum-yum.
Martini for Sunsets
You could make this one up, sit out on the deck/patio and simply enjoy the upcoming sunset.
- 5 parts Cranberry Vodka
- 1 part Grey Goose Vodka
- 1 part Kahlua
Pour ingredients into a shaker filled with cracked ice and shake. Strain into well chilled martini glasses. On a martini pick, put a small slice of orange, maraschino cherry and lemon twist.
Voila! The colours of the evening sky at sunset. I know, I know, I did it again. On this one I did say “damn I can do this”. Oh yeah, it tastes good too.
