BLACK CURRANT MARTINI
Black currants pack a lot of flavour into a small fruit. Their flavour is something similar to a combination of raspberries, blackberries, and passionfruit. If you’re unfamiliar with currants it’s easy to see how currant vodka and black currant martinis would be so tasty and alluring. A classic black currant martini is made with relatively few ingredients and doesn’t take much time or effort to enjoy that decadent first sip. Lime juice is a staple for many martini drinks, and the currant martini relies on the juice to balance out the sweetness. If you’re a fan of currants, it’s worth diving into the world of black currant martini. If currants are new for you, it’s still well worth giving this approachable flavour a try. Since black currants mix well with other fruits, you can easily swap this spirit, next time you’re shaking something up.
