Douglas Martini
Douglas Martini Instructions
The Douglas Martini is a classic cocktail that combines the smoothness of vodka with the vibrant flavors of fresh berries. This refreshing drink is perfect for summer parties and gatherings.
To make a Douglas Martini, start by muddling fresh berries in a cocktail shaker. You can use raspberries, blackberries, or a combination of both. The muddled berries will release their juices and create a flavorful base for the cocktail.
Next, add vodka to the cocktail shaker. You can use any type of vodka you prefer, but a quality vodka will enhance the flavors of the cocktail. Shake the mixture well to combine the ingredients and chill the cocktail.
Once the cocktail is chilled, strain it into a martini glass using a fine mesh strainer. This will remove any small bits of berry skin or seeds, leaving you with a smooth and visually appealing cocktail.
Garnish the Douglas Martini with a fresh berry or a twist of lemon peel. This will add a pop of color and a touch of citrus aroma to the drink. Serve the cocktail immediately while it is still chilled and enjoy!
The Douglas Martini is a versatile cocktail that can be customized to suit your taste preferences. You can adjust the sweetness by adding a splash of simple syrup or honey. For an extra citrus kick, you can squeeze in some fresh lemon or lime juice. Feel free to experiment with different types of berries and garnishes to create your own signature Douglas Martini.
So next time you're in the mood for a refreshing and fruity cocktail, give the Douglas Martini a try. Cheers!
