Born from the creative minds here at Cocktails and Movies so you can enjoy Dune and Dune II, we give you the spicy, cool taste of Arrakis: The Spice Melange Martini!
Spice Melange Martini
Ingredients
- 2 oz Vodka (for a twist, use a spice-infused vodka)
- 1/2 oz Blue Curacao (to capture the rich blue of the spice-infused eyes)
- 1/2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice (for a bit of tartness and to represent the harshness of the
desert)
- 1/4 oz Simple Syrup (to balance the tartness)
- 1 dash of Cinnamon or a pinch of Edible Gold Dust (to represent the desert sand and spice)
- Ice
- Orange Twist (to add a pop of color and a hint of citrus aroma)
Instructions
- Chill the Martini Glass: Place your martini glass in the freezer to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
- Mix the Cocktail: In a shaker, combine the vodka, Blue Curacao, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Add ice to fill the shaker halfway.
- Shake: Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15 seconds, or until the outside of the shaker feels cold.
- Prepare the Glass: If you're adding the sugar-cinnamon rim, remove the glass from the freezer, rub the rim with a lemon wedge, and dip it in a plate of the sugar-cinnamon mix.
- Strain: Strain the cocktail into the chilled martini glass.
- Garnish: Add the orange twist to the glass. Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon or a pinch of gold dust over the top of the drink.
