Blackberry Vanilla Martini

Blackberry and vanilla are a perfect pair. Adding lime to the mix creates a refreshing, tart cocktail in this blackberry vanilla martini.

Vanilla vodka is a commonly found flavored vodka, but if you don't have any on hand or don't want to use it, you can swap the vanilla for regular vodka in this drink. Citrus vodka is also delicious in this martini.

Makes 1 Blackberry Vanilla Martini cocktail.

2 oz vanilla vodka
1 oz simple syrup
0.5 oz lime juice
4-5 fresh blackberries
4-5 fresh mint leaves

Muddle mint, blackberries and lime juice in a cocktail shaker.

Add ice, simple syrup and vodka. 

Shake well. 

Pour through a fine mesh sieve held over a coupe or martini glass.* 

Enjoy!

Tips for Blackberry Vanilla Martini

• *This step keeps the blackberry seeds and mint pieces out of your cocktail. If you don’t mind some berry and mint pieces in your drink, feel free to skip it. 🙂
• Don't have a cocktail shaker on hand? Use a mason jar with a tight fitting lid.
• It will take a couple minutes to get all of the liquid to drain out of your cocktail shaker. This is due to the mint leaves, ice, and pieces of blackberry contained in your shaker. Tip your shaker upright, then pour at an angle a few times to make sure you get all of the cocktail in your glass.
