Cilantro Martini

Guests Jim and Mary shared a new cocktail recipe with us that we love! We like it so much that we have added it to our cocktail list. It is called (Mary’s) Cilantro Martini. We have shared her recipe below:

2.5 oz. Citrus Vodka
1 oz. simple syrup (1 cup sugar to 1 cup water, mix ahead of time and store in fridge)
1 juice of 1/2 lemon
1 juice of 1/2 lime
8 (or so) cilantro leaves
sugar for rimming
crushed ice

Muddle the leaves with some crushed ice in the bottom of a shaker then add some more crushed ice. Add vodka, simple syrup, lemon and lime and shake well. Let sit for a minute while you rim a chilled martini glass and add a lime wedge. Shake again, strain and enjoy!  Thank you Mary!
