French Martini
Potion:
- 2 1/4 oz Vodka (Reyka)
- 1 oz Chambord (or Raspberry Liqueur
- 3/4 oz Fresh Pineapple Juice
- 2 dashes Cherry Bark Vanilla Bitters
- 20 % saline solution
- 3 Raspberries garnish
Procedure:
Mix all ingredients sans garnish and saline in a tin. Spritz a chilled Martini glass or coupe with the saline. Double strain into the glass and garnish with 1 or 3 raspberries.
The Bitter Cube Cherry Bark Vanilla Bitters have a subtle fennel not that is good here. This is all about the dance of Chambord and pineapple juice, so stick with the vodka.
