BELVEDERE amfAR MARTINI 

Inspired by the Mediterranean spring breezes of Southern France, this martini cocktail features Belvedere Vodka, infused vermouth with in-season French strawberries with a cucumber ribbon as garnish. Light and refreshing, it’s a great vodka martini for guests who aren’t normally martini drinkers, due to the sweetness of the infused vermouth. Plus strawberry and cucumber are a delicious flavor combination.

2 oz. Belvedere Vodka

1/3 oz. Dolin Blanc infused with strawberries*

Cucumber ribbon to garnish

Shake Belvedere and vermouth and fine strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a thin slice of cucumber.
