I'm sharing my drink recipe for a (very) sweet martini I love to make but only in the winter - it's called nuts & berries, and the recipe is from our amazing local bartender named Dylan from the Sergeantsville Inn. The Inn is a delightful local restaurant/tavern in a historical building and my husband and I really enjoy an evening out there.
Please know I used to tend bar in my college days, so mixing drinks is still a very fun thing for me to do. Here are the names and what type of liqueur they are: Chambord is raspberry, creme de cassis is (sweet) currant - these are the berries...Frangelico ('the monk', as we call him - said with hands together, fingers pointed towards the heavens and a slight nod of the head as in prayer - lol) is hazelnut and Nocello is walnut (love the bottle cork - yes it's a real walnut) - those are the nuts.
Get a martini glass, your shaker with cap and strainer, and add some ice to the shaker. Add one part of each of the liqueurs, cap it and shake the heck out of it - you want bits of ice to be strained into the drink.
The outside of the metal shaker will get ice cold and frost over.
Strain into martini glass. Beautiful color for winter.
Tomorrow's post is all about tags and storage. Happy Saturday and cheers!
