Green Carnation

This is a really lovely Martini that is not overly sweet, nor overly fruity. The Green Carnation is a lot like the Greentini, it just adds lime juice and Benedictine, which contributes a dry, herbal aspect to the fruitiness of the rest of the drink. In keeping with the name, this cocktail is also green and is an ideal, well-balanced drink for any occasion where color matters.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz vodka
• 1/2 oz Midori melon liqueur
• splash of Benedictine
• splash of lime juice

Preparation:

1. Shake the ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker.
2. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
