St. Germain Citrus Fizz Martini
(I totally just came up with that name off the top of my head)
Ingredients
1 part St. Germain
1 part Smirnoff Lemon Sorbet Light vodka
Grapefruit Perrier
Basil leaf, for garnish
Sliced cucumber, for garnish
Sugar, for rim
Make It
Start off by moistening the rim of your glass -- I used a cucumber slice but you could also use a lemon wedge or water. Invert your glass on a saucer that has a few tablespoons of sugar on it to get a pretty sugared rim.
For the drink, in a martini shaker mix equal parts St. Germain and lemon sorbet vodka. For one cocktail, I used a shot of each. Add in ice and shake together, then pour in glass. Top off glass with grapefruit Perrier (I don't add this to the martini shaker or the top wants to pop off!) and stir. Add in a basil leaf and a cucumber slice for garnish.
This was my first time of trying Smirnoff's lemon sorbet light vodka ... it was incredibly tasty.

That drink looks SO tasty! I've been loving some St. Germain this summer! Can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteThat cocktail does sound fun! I will have to try it out. Random question - is the rim chipped on your glass? It looked so jagged to me in the spot on the front that it left me wondering (and thinking, ouch!).
ReplyDeleteWhitney: Good question! Happy to say the rim isn't chipped -- I'd already taken a sip of the cocktail when I snapped a picture, so what you're seeing is the front rim sans sugar :) If I chipped the rim of that awesome glass, I'd probably cry ... it's a favorite!
ReplyDeleteI love Smirnoff's sorbets. The raspberry is really great too! I'll have to try this out!
ReplyDeleteLooks incredible! I am definitely going to have to try it with what I have at home...I'll let you know how La Croix Pamplemousse works!
