Summer Martini

by

With a lot of company this summer, I have returned to the ‘signature’ drink mode. We used a martini to greet guests with and now it seems like a good thing to do. My reasoning? Just ‘cuz…

Always chill  your martini glasses and then start, this way the drink is always in “chill” mode. That doesn’t sound too hard, does it?

 

  • 2 parts Raspberry Vodka
  • 1 part Whipped Cream Vodka
  • 1 part Cassis

Pour into a shaker filled with crushed ice and shake for 20 seconds. Strain into the chilled martini glasses and add a couple of raspberries or, if you really want to go over the edge, a slice of fresh peach.

 

Yummmmmmmm.

Merry Berry Martini

by

What a way to start the Christmas “spirit”.  Try it!

 

  • 2 parts Raspberry Vodka
  • 1 part Chambord
  • 1 splash White Chocolate Liqueur

Make sure the martini glasses are chilled (frosty, actually). Pour the ingredients into a shaker filled with ice and shake it really well.  Strain into the icy cold glasses and add a couple of frozen berries (blackberries).

There, now go and open your gifts.

Mediterranean Martini

This is nicer and makes you think of the south of France or wherever your ‘happy’ place is…….

 

  • 2 parts Raspberry Vodka
  • 1 part Creme de Cassis

Pour ingredients into a shaker filled with crushed ice and shake for a minute and strain into chilled martini glasses. Garnish with fresh raspberries.

You may like this so much it could taste like two. Any more than that and it is hangover time. Be careful.

Where’s Spring Martini

by

After the crazy attempts to a normal Spring, weather-wise, I think it is time to make a martini that just might spur things on.

You will need

 

  • 3 parts Raspberry Vodka
  • 1 part Chambourd
  • 1 part cranberry juice.

 

Pour ingredients into a shaker filled with cracked ice. Shake well. Strain into chilled martini glasses and garnish with ripe raspberries (3 should about do it). I meant 3 raspberries not…you get the picture!

Enjoy! Eventually Spring will arrive.
