Skinny Love Martini Cocktail Recipe
I’m excited to share my favorite recipe for a Skinny Love Martini! It’s a light and refreshing cocktail that’s perfect for a night in or a small gathering. Let’s get started with what you’ll need to whip up this delightful drink. 🍸
Equipment
- First, a cocktail shaker is essential for blending the ingredients smoothly.
- Then, a double strainer helps to remove ice shards and pulp to ensure a silky texture.
- A jigger measures the exact amount of each component perfectly.
- Lastly, a martini glass adds a touch of elegance to the presentation.
- Serving with a peeler or zester will allow for beautiful garnishes, enhancing both look and flavor.
Ingredients
Crafting this drink starts with gathering all ingredients.
- I’ll use 2 oz of vodka for the base. It’s best to choose a high-quality brand for smoothness.
- I’ll add 1 oz of fresh lemon juice for a tangy twist and 0.5 oz of agave syrup to keep it naturally sweet.
- Including a few mint leaves brings freshness and ice cubes cool it all down.
- For garnish a lemon twist adds flair.
Instructions
Here’s how I make the Skinny Love Martini.
- First, I fill the cocktail shaker with ice.
- Next, I pour vodka, lemon juice, and agave syrup into the shaker.
- I add the mint leaves, then securely put on the lid.
- I shake it vigorously for about 15 seconds to mix everything well.
- Strain into a martini glass, ensuring a smooth drink without ice or mint pieces.
- Lastly, add a lemon twist to the rim.
Enjoy the refreshing taste!
Notes
For a customized twist, I might use flavored vodka for an extra kick. Experimenting with different herbs like basil can also introduce new flavors. If preferred, using honey instead of agave syrup offers a unique taste. Serving ice-cold in a chilled glass enhances the drink’s crispness.
