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:
- Shake the ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker.
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
