Cranberry Martini
This is like a sophisticated cosmo and the color screams Christmas. Vermouth is not actually a spirit, so remember to refrigerate it and use it within a month once it is opened.
Ingredients:
Ice cubes
1 cup vodka
1/4 cup dry vermouth
1/2 cup cranberry juice
8 cranberries, frozen
4 lemon zest twists
Directions:
- Put 4 martini glasses in the freezer to chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Just before serving, fill a cocktail shaker half full with ice.
- Pour in the vodka, vermouth and cranberry juice.
- Cover with the lid and shake vigorously up and down for about 10 seconds.
- Strain into the chilled glasses, dividing evenly. Garnish each glass with 2 frozen cranberries and a lemon twist. Serve immediately.
Servings: 4 cocktails.
