I have some delicious and refreshing drink suggestions for these days when we fight against the humid and suffocating heat of summer! Moreover, these suggestions are not my own recipe, but two different cocktails that I personally learned and experienced from the chefs of Çırağan Palace Kempinski.
You can sip these cocktails with your loved ones accompanied by the magnificent Bosphorus view at Çırağan Palace Kempinski, or you can prepare them for your guests at home by using the recipes that I share below.
Blue Martini:
I loved both the taste and appearance of this cocktail, which helps you cool down with its blue icy look. You can easily prepare this refreshing cocktail, which you can prefer especially in summer and which has a very easy-to-drink texture, in 3 minutes.
Ingredients:
- 4cl Vodka
- 3cl Blue Curacao
- 1cl Lemon juice
- 1.5 cl Martini dry
Add all the ingredients to your shaker and shake it quickly for 1-2 minutes. Then, pour the drink you prepared into your glass filled with crushed ice and serve. That’s it!
You can start enjoying this cocktail, which is so easy to make.
Watermelon & Passion Fruit Martini
Ingredients:
- 4cl Vodka
- 2cl Passion fruit puree (you can also use a mixture of forest fruits that you create at home instead of this)
- 2 slices seedless watermelon
- 1cl Lemon juice
If you like fruity tastes, this cocktail is definitely for you! After mashing 2 slices of watermelon in a mortar, shake all the ingredients with crushed ice in a shaker and serve it in a martini glass.
Tip: You can add a small slice of watermelon to the edge of your glass to make your cocktail look more aesthetic.
Enjoy your drink! 🙂
