A Martini with The Shift

One of the books I read this month was The Shift, part of my process is learning and growing as a person and a cocktail blogger. In addition to reading, I also made a little vodka cocktail to help me get motivated. I love the pretty purple glitter to make any cocktail fun.

The Shift Martini

Vodka Martini

Ingredients

2 oz Vodka

1 oz Cointreau

1 oz Lemon Juice

1 oz Simple Syrup

Teaspoon of light purple edible glitter

Garnish: Lemon Peel

A good book deserves a good cocktail! I love how this cocktail is both sweet and tart. Sort of like a really good pie. It brightens up your mouth. And you get a little buzz.

Recipe: In a cocktail shaker with ice, pour vodka, cointreau, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Dash in a little glitter. Close and shake until cold (about ten seconds). Strain into a martini glass or a coupe glass. Garnish with a lemon peel.
