Strawberry Elderflower Sake Martini

Some evenings call for something light and pretty in a martini glass.

This strawberry elderflower sake martini is simple to make, but it feels quietly elegant. Sake keeps it smooth and delicate, strawberry margarita mix adds bright fruit flavor, and St-Germain brings a soft floral note that makes the whole drink feel just a little romantic.

Shaken with ice and strained into a chilled glass, it’s the kind of cocktail that looks beautiful on the table without requiring much effort. If you’d like a deeper berry finish, and a richer blush color, a small splash of Chambord on top makes it even more special.

Pin it for later!
