We haven’t given Martinis much love around here because we kind of assume we’ve all been there done that. But, when our friends at Juliska offered up their gorgeous Martini set for a holiday giveaway, it got us rethinking this classic cocktail. Here is a very slight twist on the classic, a Citrus Vodka Martini Cocktail recipe with a twist.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I always feel like a Bond girl when drinking a martini, I don’t drink many, but when I do I feel a certain type of elegancy-ish cliché, like something out of a movie, so of course when I am feeling kind of down and want to feel more empowered, I think there is no better drink to accompany that feeling than this Citrus Vodka Martini.
