1pt Minted Martha Recipe
1pt Minted Martha
Crisp and refreshing, this take on the classic Cape Codder adds an infused layer of mouth-tingling mint and subtle herbal notes, balanced by cranberry and lime. It’s an easy, versatile drink for gatherings—batchable and perfect as a cocktail or mocktail that keeps summer alive year-round.
STEP 1 - Easy All-Natural Infusion
Infuse Your Spirit:
Combine a 1pt Mint Infusion Blend Packet with 375ml of Vodka in any lidded container. Let it infuse for 5-6 hours, then strain, and reserve the infused spirit for your cocktails. (No need to refrigerate - infused spirits can be stored indefinitely at room temperature)
1pt Mint Infusion Blend Ingredients:
Long Jing, Lemongrass, Ginger, Peppermint - no sugar, gluten, dairy, nuts, additives, or preservatives
Mocktail* Version:
Substitute water or a zero-proof spirit for the alcohol in this infusion and follow the same steps. (Non-alcoholic infusions should be refrigerated and used within 30 days)
STEP 2 - Mix Your Drink
| Ingredient | Cocktail (1) | Batch (6+) |
|---|---|---|
| 1pt Mint-infused Vodka* | 2.0 oz | 375ml |
| Cranberry Juice | 4.0 oz | 24 oz |
| Fresh Lime Juice | 0.5 oz | 3 oz |
| Simple Syrup | 0.5 oz | 3 oz |
Mixing Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake until chilled. Strain into a suitable glass - “up” or over ice. For batching, do not shake. Instead, combine all ingredients in a pitcher with ice (adding 4 oz of water to mimic the dilution you usually get from shaking) and serve as normal.
Garnish:
Garnish with a lime twist and a sprig of fresh mint for a bright, aromatic touch.
STEP 3 - Enjoy!
For an Added Twist:
Try a splash of sparkling water for extra fizz or add a hint of muddled basil for a refreshing variation.
