The Shakers have come up with a new signature martini:The Love Potion #9 (working title)
Inspired by the Velvet Kiss and couple of our favorite ingredients (Lillet Blanc, St. Germain) we've created a tasty tini to melt your heart......literally.
3 oz Vodka
2 oz Lillet Blanc
1/2 oz St. Germain elderflower liquor
1 oz lemon juice
splash of simple syrup (optional)
Shake above over ice, strain into a martini glass and gently drop in a frozen heart. Yes, that's a frozen heart of berry puree you see floating in the glass.
This martini is meant to be sipped slowly. The flavor changes over time. You start out with a nice citrus-y top note, but as the drink matures you start to get a more pronounced Lillet flavor and near the end, the berry puree heart melts to color and flavor the last half of your drink. This is a martini to savor, enjoying the layers as they develop.
Shaker 1 gives this a 4 1/2 olives...Shaker 2?
