Vodka Ice Wine Martini
With Friday the 4th October being the Vodka day, then definitely it needs to be celebrated
.
A miniature ice wine Vidal from Peller Estates was a perfect souvenir brought by a friend who recently visited Vancouver. Icewine as described is a fabulous wine produced from the juice of naturally frozen grapes that have been hand-picked at night in the middle of the cold Canadian winter when the temperature dips below -10ºC Once picked, the grapes are pressed immediately while still frozen Each frozen grape yields just one drop of intensely frozen juice. Whether savoured on their own or shaken or stirred into a luxurious cocktail, Icewines offer a uniquely Canadian wine experience
.
So here is my stirred Vodka Ice Wine Martini!
.
Ingredients
Vodka: 40 ml @cirocvodka
Ice Wine: 40 ml @pellerwines
Campari: 5 ml @campariofficial
Olive Pimento – for garnish
.
Preparation Method
First fill the Martini glass with ice & water & set it aside. Take a mixing glass add the vodka, chilled ice wine & stir it for a while. Empty the martini glass. Pour the Campari & swirl the glass so that the rinse splashes all over the interior of glass as well the rim. Discard the excess rinse. Pour the blend of vodka & ice wine & garnish it with three olives on a cocktail stick. The Campari rinse imparts the strong flavour & balances the delicious sweetness of ice wine & enhances the entire Vodka experience like never before.
This one for sure was a precious sip of all time
