'Bond' for James Bond, who prefers his martinis with vodka and shaken, not stirred. Creamy caramel vodka, shaken with strawberries and blackberries makes this a summertime fusion of flavors. This is a simple drink to make, jazzed up by the caramel vodka. You may have a hard time straining it. There is lots of yummy fruit pulp to enjoy - you know you wanna eat your drink. Time to make does not include macerating the berries. (Van Gogh makes a Dutch caramel vodka - that is what I used. ) UPDATE - 8/28/12: Martinis are almost exclusively ALL ALCOHOL, so of course, they are strong - be prepared. The caramel vodka adds a subtlety and sweet smoothness that can't be matched. Stoli and Sobieski also make caramel vodkas, to name a couple. Do try to find one to use in this drink - you won't be sorry. Ingredients:
2 1/2-3 ounces caramel flavored vodka, chilled |
3 strawberries |
5 blackberries |
1 teaspoon sugar (or to taste, you may use less or a sugar substitute) |
Directions:
1. Cut berries, cover in sugar and let macerate to release the berry juices. (maybe an hour or so.).
2. Add vodka, berries and 3-4 ice cubes to a shaker cup, and shake for all it's worth.
3. Strain into chilled martini glass.
