Bittersweet Martini

I have always been curious about Angostura bitters in drinks, so I finally took the plunge and bought Angostura Orange Bitters because what if I was missing out on something amazing all this time?? I found a recipe online at barnonedrinks.com that I had all the ingredients for and decided to use it as my starting point. My customized Bittersweet martini: 2.5 oz vodka 1/2 oz Campari 1/2 oz Grand Marnier 1/2 oz lemon juice 1/2 oz simple syrup 1 dash orange bitters Place in all ingredients in a shaker 1/2 filled with ice and shake it like a polaroid picture. Pour into martini glass, garnish with orange slice if you have one, otherwise just enjoy and take some deep breaths in gratitude of being off work today 😘 Review: the dash of bitters really comes thru! I like it! Planning to get some citron or mandarin vodka for more citrus kick next time.

Grapefruit Lemon Drop Martini

After running out of Citron vodka for my much adored Lemon Drop Martini....I decided to try my Finlandia Grapefruit Fusion as a substitute.  In my ice-filled shaker I added:

• 2 oz Finlandia Grapefruit Fusion Vodka
• 1 oz Limoncello
• 1 oz lemon juice
• 3/4 oz simple syrup

SHAKE IT LIKE A POLAROID PICTURE.
Pour into your chilled martini glass & enjoy... I really like this grapefruit twist, I am on my second one...THANK GOODNESS FOR SPELLCHECK ;)

Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka

The best thing since sliced bread ever!!! I tried this Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka with Country Time Lemonade...so smooth I just love it. To be honest I initially thought it would be either too sweet or too tea-y; I am a definite bit of a drink snob.
But....I have tried it 50/50 with Country Time > perfect. I have tried it as a martini > perfect. I have tried it on the rocks > refreshing. I have tried it straight chilled > potently pleasing.
Mixed drinks recipe to follow....just run to your local liquor store & get your own bottle to try it out.
