CRANBERRY MARTINI
Serves 2
1 lemon wedge
4tbsp vodka
4tbsp cranberry juice
2tbsp Cointreau
2tbsp lemon juice
2tsp sugar syrup
To frost the two martini glasses, smooth an even layer of sugar on a plate and cut a notch in a lemon wedge. Run the lemon wedge around the rim of the glass and then tilt the glass and roll its outer rim in the sugar. The goal here is to get the sugar on the outside of the glass only so none of it drops into the drink itself.
Place the vodka, cranberry juice, Cointreau, lemon juice and sugar syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake for 15 seconds until cold. Divide the drink into two frosted martini glasses. Garnish with cranberries and a sprig of rosemary to serve.
