1pt Snowball Martini Recipe

1pt Snowball Martini
This martini variation is like the hush before the first snowfall—crisp, clean, and charged with anticipation. Vodka infused with lemongrass, ginger, and lemon verbena mingles with white cranberry, each sip as bracing as that first icy breath of winter. Perfect for batching and equally captivating as a zero-proof option, it’s the kind of drink that sharpens the senses and makes each moment feel a little more alive.

STEP 1 - Easy All-Natural Infusion

Infuse Your Spirit:
Combine a 1pt Citrus Infusion Blend Packet with 375ml of vodka in any lidded container. Let it infuse for 4-5 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 Citrus Infusion Blend Ingredients:
Lemongrass, Ginger, Lemon Verbena, Yerba Mate, Marigold Petals - 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

Mixing Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake until very well 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 2 oz of water to mimic the dilution you usually get from shaking) and serve as normal.

Garnish:
Garnish with lemon slices and a sprig of thyme for a refreshing, aromatic finish.

STEP 3 - Enjoy!

For an Added Twist:
Add an orange twist to elevate the citrus notes and bring a subtle warmth to the crisp, refreshing profile.

Food Pairing Suggestions:
Cocktails shine especially brightly alongside appetizers that bring out their full range of flavors. For this cocktail, try these ideas based on the vibe you’re going for:

• Simple & Satisfying: Rye crispbread topped with whipped herbed cheese and a sprinkle of chives, adding a creamy, earthy bite that balances the martini’s crispness.
• Classic & Comforting: Thin slices of roast beef on rye crostini with a dab of horseradish cream, adding a savory bite that stands up to the drink’s crispness.
• Elevated & Elegant: Toast Skagen—shrimp salad on toasted bread with fresh dill and a hint of lemon, offering a refreshing, Nordic-inspired bite that matches the cocktail's clean profile.
