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.
