Good evening! It’s my father’s birthday today so my parents came home for supper. We had an incredible opera cake for dessert with green tea to wash it down. Of course we had way too much cake, and because of extreme stuffing, we left most of the tea on the table. Once they left I though, “hmmmmm…let’s make a martini with these leftovers” (the tea not the cake!).
Green Tea Martini
Ingredients
- 2 Parts Vodka Citron
- 1 Part Grand Marnier
- 1 Part Chilled Green Tea
- Sugar for the rim
- Lime juice for the rim
- Lime slices for garnish
Preparation
Start by rimming a chilled martini glass with the lime juice and sugar. Pour the Vodka Citron, Grand Marnier and green tea in a shaker filled with ice. Shake until very cold. Strain into the rimmed martini glass and garnish with lime slices.
Appreciation
Oh my! this is a good surprise! The green tea martini is refreshing and actually tastes like tea. Nice! When you think the alcohol is going to become too intense, the sugar and lime from the rim pops to the rescue and blends all the ingredients in a smooth flavor. You have to try this martini. When I was done with it, I wished I had made a pitcher…but no…what a fool. I give it nine dolphin out of ten.
Enjoy!
