Glitter Night: It's Martini Time

This Monday, I need a martini. I paid my taxes over the weekend and that's always stressful so going back to work today was extra hard. This pretty purple martini brightens things up for me though!

Glitter Night

Vodka Martini

Ingredients

2 oz Vodka

1/2 oz Cointreau

1 oz Lemon Juice (preferably Meyer Lemon)

1/2 oz Simple Syrup

Dash of edible purple glitter 6 Blackberries Muddled

Garnish: Blackberries and Lemon Twist

The Meyer Lemon of it all: Meyer lemon makes it sweet! Meyer lemon is a sweet lemon to use for cocktails, sauces, and whatever you want. I like it for cocktails because it means I don't have to use as much simple syrup. It helps reduce the amount of sugar.

Recipe: In a cocktail shaker, muddle blackberries and simple syrup. Add ice and pour vodka, cointreau, lemon juice, and dash in edible purple glitter if you have it. Double strain into a martini glass or coupe glass.
