First Dance Martini

Description

First Dance Martini earns its place in the glass by keeping the idea clear. The recipe combines Vodka, Vanilla Liqueur, and Passion fruit modifier. Each ingredient has a clear job: the base provides structure, the modifiers build flavour, and careful chilling keeps the finish clean.

It is versatile enough for a cocktail night at home, dinner with friends or a round where you want something a little less predictable. Taste before serving and make small adjustments; balance is easier to preserve that way.

Ingredients

50 ml Vodka
20 ml Vanilla Liqueur
10 ml Passion fruit modifier
Ice
Twist, fruit

Equipment needed

Bar Spoon – Used to stir the drink smoothly with ice before serving. Muddler – Useful for gently pressing herbs, fruit or sugar when building the drink.

Instructions

Add the liquid ingredients to a mixing glass with plenty of ice.
Stir until very cold and lightly diluted.
Strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice or served straight up.
Garnish with a clean aromatic finish and serve immediately.
