Halfway through an impromptu Arlington bar crawl last summer, some friends and I ended up at a random rooftop bar. The drink special that night: $2 Ketel One Botanicals flavors. Obvious outcome: we tried all of them. It was a boozy night.
Now considering the wino that I am (because let’s be real), vodka drinks aren’t really my thing. Never have been. No shade at anyone, I just always prefer a good glass of wine.
That said, one sip of the Ketel One Botanicals Peach & Orange Blossom vodka with club soda and I knew it would be a game-changer. It’s crisp, light, refreshing, low-calorie (bonus!) and genuinely taste pretty good.
Fast forward to a few months ago. I’m scrolling on social and I see a pin about a honey lemon cocktail. Unfortunately, I didn’t actually save that pin – oops! – but I had a feeling the Ketel One Peach would make the perfect base for a libation with a honey lemon vibe.
I’m not saying I’ve like made a switch to only drink vodka now, because obviously I haven’t. However, I’ve definitely enjoyed experimenting with the different Ketel One Botanicals flavors over the last few months in quarantine. And after a few rounds of trial and error (plus one bona fide disaster attempt), I settled on my final recipe. Here’s my Ketel One Peach Honey Blossom martini. It’s delicious. Enjoy!
Peach Honey Blossom Martini
+ Squeeze 1/2 lemon into a cocktail shaker and add 1 tsp of honey
+ 2 oz Ketel One Botanicals Peach & Orange Blossom vodka
+ 1/2 oz St Germain (the most delicious elderflower liqueur!)
+ Add ice and shake
+ Strain into martini glass
+ Top with club soda/champagne for fizz
+ Garnish with flowers
Cheers!
