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.
Plum Vodka Martini
Ha! You thought I had given up on martinis, didn’t you? Well, I haven’t. We haven’t had company that I could make any for. So it took me awhile and then I thought…..now’s the time.
It is simple but the inclusion of the whipped cream vodka makes it really tasty.
- 1 part spiced run
- 1 part Slivovitz (plum liqueur)
- 1 part whipped cream vodka (yes, they really do make it)
Rim martini glasses with coloured sugar (mauve to purple) and chill. Pour ingredients into shaker filled with crushed ice and shake.
Strain into the prepared glasses and garnish with a slice of red plum.
Yummmmmmmm.
