WILD TEA COSMO
MARTINI
2 measures Absolut Wild Tea Vodka
1 measure orange liqueur
1 measure cranberry juice
Splash of lime juice
I found myself back at a Panini’s restaurant again tonight.
We were looking for a place to eat dinner on the way back from Wildwater
Kingdom waterpark in Aurora, Ohio, and a Panini’s caught my eye. I knew they had
a cocktail or two that I wanted to try, and I was driving, so the others had no
choice. This time, I went for the WILD TEA COSMO MARTINI made with Absolut Wild
Tea Vodka. I’m not a big tea drinker, but sometimes tea sounds comforting,
especially after a long day of body slide and lazy river rides.
To make the WILD TEA COSMO MARTINI, the nice bartender at
Panini’s put the ingredients above into a cocktail shaker, added ice, shook it
well, and strained it into a martini glass with a stem just right for holding.
There were little shards of ice floating on the top that helped to keep the
cocktail cold. But it wasn’t in the glass for long, because I loved it.
“Cocktails Perfected” is Absolut brand’s tag line for this
vodka and I’d agree that it is a subtly perfect blend of tea, elderflower, red
apples and citrus. The wild tea vodka had a pleasantly fresh aroma that gave this
martini a real summery feel. It would be a great vodka to use for lighter vodka
cocktails, like mojitos, tonics, long island ice teas and, of course, martinis.
As hoped for, I was comforted by my WILD TEA COSMO MARTINI. In addition to the delicious
vodka, it had a great blend of juices that weren’t too citrusy. It tasted like
raspberry tea with a kick, despite the fact that there was no raspberry in it. I
only wish I could have enjoyed it on the lazy river. Are you listening
Wildwater Kingdom?
