Today, I’m sharing a delicious cocktail that is perfect for Valentine’s Day! This romantic love potion is called the Berries and Bubbles martini. You can grab one at Ocean Prime like I did, or try your hand at making one yourself with the recipe below. The image above is by me and the recipe below is from the About Guide to Phoenix.

Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients:

– 1¼ oz. Belvedere Citrus
– ¾ oz. Crème de Cassis
– 1½ oz. home made sour
– 1 oz. Domaine Chandon Brut

Preparation:
1. Combine Belvedere Citrus, Crème de Cassis and sour in mixing tin
2. Add ice, shake vigorously and strain into chilled martini glass containing a spoonful of marinated blackberries and a piece of dry ice
3. Finish cocktail with Domaine Chandon Brut float.

The bubbles and smoke in the one pictured above are caused by a small sliver of dry ice that was added to the glass just before pouring the drink in. However, if you can’t get your hands on dry ice, the drink is still yummy without it. You just won’t get the smokey bubbly effect…
