Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 ounces Premium vodka
- 0.5 ounces Dry sherry
- 1 piece Orange peel
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Chill a martini glass by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes or filling it with ice water and setting it aside.
Prepare an orange peel by carefully slicing it with a paring knife, ensuring there is no pith attached to the peel. It should be about 2-3 inches long.
Remove the chilled martini glass from the freezer (or empty out the ice water if using that method).
Lightly flambé the interior of the glass by holding the orange peel over the rim and using a lighter or match to express the oils (squeeze the peel towards the flame). This creates a smoky orange essence in the glass. Be cautious and perform this step safely, away from flammable materials.
Add the dry sherry to the prepared martini glass, swirl it around to coat the interior, then discard the excess sherry.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes, then pour in the vodka. Stir vigorously for 15-20 seconds to chill the vodka thoroughly.
Strain the vodka into the prepared martini glass.
Garnish the martini by expressing another orange peel over the drink to release the oils, and drop the peel into the glass (optional).
Serve immediately and enjoy the aromatic and elegant Flame of Love Martini.
