Make A Tuscan Martini

Make a Tuscan Martini


A Tuscan martini is a lemon-flavored cocktail, made with lemon martini mix, lemon-flavored vodka, amaretto liqueur, and sweet and sour mix. Its light, citrus flavor makes it a popular martini choice. This recipe yields approximately one 5-oz. serving.


Instructions


1. Fill a large shaker container with ice cubes.


2. Combine 2 oz. of lemon martini mix with 1 oz. of lemon-flavored vodka. Pour the mixture into the shaker.


3. Add 1 oz. of Amaretto and 1 oz. of sweet and sour mix to the shaker container. Stir to combine, if desired.


4. Shake the contents of the shaker for several minutes to combine, until the outside of the shaker begins to sweat from condensation. This process typically takes one to two minutes.


5. Place an orange wedge on the edge of a clean, dry martini glass. Pour the Tuscan martini mixture into the glass slowly.








6. Garnish with a lemon twist, if desired, and serve the Tuscan martini immediately. Repeat the steps to make additional drinks.
