5-Fruit Martini
Beverages are Levi’s speciality. He loves to experiment. He’ll try a drink in a restaurant and want to improve on it or try it at home. He is a hardcore mixologist. You should see our liquor cabinet.
He decided to name this one 5-Fruit Martini. Saying there’s 5 fruits in here may be a stretch since they aren’t fresh fruits that are pureed – so don’t think you’re getting some sort of smoothie or something. But humour him and enjoy at the same time!
This recipe makes 3 martinis:
- 1/2 oz. Triple Sec
- 3 oz. Vodka
- 3 oz. Peach Schnapps
- 7.5 oz. Sun Rype Apple, Orange, Peach juice
- 1 frozen whole strawberry
- grenadine
Shake liquor and juice with ice in a cocktail shaker. Pour into martini glass. Drizzle in grenadine for slight red color at the bottom. Gently drop in frozen strawberry. Let sit for a few minutes to allow strawberry to cool drink and thaw slightly.
Here’s a gorgeous picture for you:
You may ask how is it possible that there are 5 fruits? Well, apple, orange, peach (from the juice), pomegranate (grenadine), and the frozen strawberry. If you want to get real technical then I am sure there is extra citrus notes in the Triple Sec…but let’s not.

This is a good martini! I had one (or was it two?) made by mixologist-Levi himself… The added treat is when you’re done the drink you have the strawberry, which has been soaking up all the booze. Give it a try.
