Equipment

  • cocktail picks
  • measuring jigger

Ingredients

FOR EACH CHERRY MARTINI:

  • 2 ½ ounces vodka from the jar of Drunken Cherries
  • ½ ounce dry vermouth we like Noilly Pratt
  • 2 Drunken Cherries
  • twist of lemon
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and pour in 2 ½ ounces vodka from the jar of Drunken Cherries and ½ ounce dry vermouth.
  • Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 30 seconds or until the outside of the shaker is icy cold.
  • Strain the cherry martini into a coupe or martini glass and garnish with twist of lemon and 2 Drunken Cherries, skewered on a pick.

Notes

Plan ahead: Drunken Cherries made with frozen cherries color the vodka in a few hours and are ready in about a week. Whole fresh cherries take about two weeks.
Warning: they sneak up on you!
