Date Night at Home: Martini Time

I love a good date night at home. It's fun to relax and rejuvenate. This martini pairs one of my favorite flavors together: Cherry and Orange. This Cherry martini uses cherry vodka, cointreau, lime juice, and simple syrup. It's a super simple cocktail that you can make anytime and is great for little date night happy hour or after dinner. Simple and tasty!

Ingredients

Recipe: In a cocktail shaker with ice, pour all ingredients. Shake well for about fifteen seconds or until the whole shaker is cold. Pour into a martini glass and garnish with a luxardo cherry. This cocktail is definitely a dessert cocktail. I find it's perfect for a nightcap or to pair with a movie night.
