I'm very sad to tell you all this, but I have a severe raspberry allergy. Now, that might not seem such a bad thing, but trust me it just about cuts a cocktail menu in half when I'm in a bar. Still, I know for a fact that my friend Helena's French Martini recipe is fabulous (from all of the oooohs and aaahs at my last cocktail party) so here it is:You'll need these things:
50ml vodka
15ml Chambord - I can't have this!
60ml pineapple juice
Handful of crushed up berries - See?! I can't have these either!
And then you'll to do this:
Shake ingredients with ice and strain into a martini glass. Then don't give it to the girl who has a stupid allergy. Drink it all yourself. Yummy, apparently.
Oh! Poor you! :( French martinis are, indeed, lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt's the worst thing for a cocktail lover to be allergic to. I once had to send a cocktail back at The Savoy.
ReplyDeleteStill I can drink bellinis and mojitos so it's not all bad.
