Receta The Jasmine Martini | #NationalMartiniDay
The Jasmine Martini is a beautiful deep pink color, but don't mistake it for a girlie cocktail.
The Jasmine Martini gets its pretty hue from Campari, which is a liqueur with a complex and bitter flavor. I love Campari in cocktails, but for some, it can be an acquired taste.
I was first introduced to Campari when I tried a Negroni while vacationing in Charleston. I loved the bitter flavor. I've since tried it in a Margarita, as well as a lightened up Tanjeen Negroni. They were both delicious.
The Jasmine Martini is a mixture of gin, Campari, orange liqueur, and fresh lemon juice. The flavor is reminiscent of grapefruit juice in a way. It's the perfect sip for National Martini Day!
I've made this cocktail a few times, but for some reason had never posted it, so when a group of food bloggers decided to celebrate the "holiday," this was the first thing that came to mind. I hope you'll give it a try.
