FreshbrStrawberry Rosé Martini
1 bottle your favorite Rosé
1 oz St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur
¾ oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
¾ oz simple syrup
3 each Whole Strawberries
1-2 each Blackberries, as needed
2-3 each Raspberries, as needed
Procedure:
- In a martini shaker, or pint glass, drop in 3 wholebrstrawberries that are de-stemmed.
- Add a blackberry or two for a darker, more savorybrflavor.
- Add raspberries for a brighter, slightly sweeterbrmartini.
- Then add simple syrup to your pint glass.
- Muddle your fresh fruit and simple syrup untilbrpuree-like.
- Add ice to the top of your glass and top with Rose,brSt. Germain liqueur, fresh squeezed lemon juice.
- Shake thoroughly until martini is icy cold.
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer in to a martinibrglass.
- Garnish with your fresh berries.
Notes:
- At Bonefish Grill, we add both raspberry andbrblackberry for a beautiful color and a sweet and savory cocktail, but thebrstrawberries are still the most prominent fruit flavor.
- Straining through a fine mesh strainer removes all thebrseeds so that when you are sipping you taste all the flavor of fruit but nobrseeds.
- We use M. Chapoutier's Belleruche Rosé for thisbrcocktail. It's a beautiful, but slightlybrdry Rose, that's flavor is perfect for mixing in a cocktail.
- Add a little fun or flavor to your party, by freezingbrfresh fruit in to large ice cubes and use those for garnish instead of freshbrfruit on the side of the glass. It'sbreasy to do, and keeps your martini ice cold until the very last sip.
Happy sipping!
