Many of the Christmas and holiday martinis that I found sounded very sweet and thick. This one, however, is a perfect marriage of class and elegance to add to a holiday night.
Ingredients:
- 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger vodka (top shelf)
- 1/4 ounce Grand Marnier
- 1-1/2 ounces fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp cinnamon water (boiled water with cinnamon and sugar)
- 1 ounce blood orange juice
- 1 fig slice garnish
Preparation:
- Place liquid ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Shake to blend and chill.
- Strain into a chilled martini glass, and garnish with a fig slice.
- Enjoy!
