The Mistletoe Martini

 Cut Classics Christmas Vodka Cocktail

Light, fresh, a touch botanical, and very pretty.

A modern Christmas martini with half the alcohol and all the elegance.

Ingredients

  • 50ml Cut Classics Vodka (20% ABV)
  • 20ml Elderflower cordial
  • 15ml Cloudy apple juice
  • 10ml Fresh lime juice
  • 2 drops vanilla extract (optional but gorgeous)
  • Ice
  • Garnish:
    • A tiny thyme sprig or a very slim apple ribbon twist
    • Optional: one frozen cranberry dropped into the glass for a festive pop of red

 Method

  1. Fill a shaker with ice.
  2. Add Cut Classics Vodka, elderflower cordial, apple juice, lime juice, and vanilla.
  3. Shake hard until beautifully chilled.
  4. Double strain into a chilled martini or coupe glass.
  5. Garnish delicately with a small thyme sprig laid across the rim
    or an elegant apple peel ribbon floated on top.
  6. (Optional but pretty): Drop a single frozen cranberry into the centre to mimic a “mistletoe berry”.
