Tag: Stars and Stripes Martini

Despite its Japanese culinary roots, RA Sushi is an American restaurant chain, and the South Miami location—located across from The Shops at Sunset Place—is expressing its patriotism with its new Stars and Stripes Martini, available from Friday, July 2 to Sunday, July 4 for $7. And for those who want to recreate the cocktail at home, the restaurant is even sharing the recipe:

Stars and Stripes Martini Recipe (1 serving)

• Muddled blueberries
• 1.5 oz. SKYY Citrus Vodka
• ¼ oz. Blue Curacao
• ¼ oz. Chambord raspberry liqueur
• ½ oz. simple syrup
• 1 oz. lemonade
• Splash lemon-lime soda
• 2 juiced lemons

Muddle blueberries with the Blue Curacao in a martini glass. Place a lemon wheel slice over mixture. Pour vodka, simple syrup, a splash of lemon-lime soda, and lemon juice in a martini shaker. Shake and strain over the lemon in a martini glass. The mixture will layer. Drizzle Chambord down the side of the glass. It will layer in between the vodka and blueberry mixture creating a striped appearance; garnish will float to top. Hooked?
