Key Lime Martini
Description
The Key Lime Martini uses vanilla-flavored vodka mixed with the juice of fresh key limes, sweetened condensed milk, and simple syrup to create a luscious and tangy cocktail. Shaken vigorously with ice to fully integrate the condensed milk, the drink gains a creamy texture and a rich flavor profile balancing tartness from the lime and smoothness from the vodka and milk. The garnish of a slice of key lime adds a fresh aroma and visual appeal.
The process is straightforward, making it suitable for an evening drink where a hint of citrus and creaminess is desired. The use of condensed milk rather than cream or milk gives the cocktail a denser sweetness and body. Adjusting the simple syrup lets you tailor the sweetness to your taste.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces vodka vanilla flavored
- ½ - 1 ounce key lime juice ½ ounce = approx 2 key limes
- 1 ounce sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ounce simple syrup or to taste, but highly recommended
- 1 key lime slice as garnish
Instructions
- Place ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Top with a handful of ice. Shake vigorously until sweetened condensed milk has dissolved into the rest of the drink.
- Strain into a martini glass and serve with a slice of lime.
Notes
- Measure 1 ounce as 2 tablespoons or 1/8 cup for accuracy; a 1/8 cup measuring cup can simplify this.
