A Three-Hour Pour
Ginger Passion Martini Recipe
Sure, Gilligan preferred Mary Ann, but you thought she was a priss. (“Oh, look at me. I wear pigtails and gingham.” Yuck.)
You’d rather be stranded with sassy Ginger anyday.
We’ll drink to that — with a Ginger Passion martini. We searched high and low for the perfect recipe. (Fine, we drunkenly stumbled upon it at Casa Tua.) Manager and mixologist Andreas Schreiner’s feisty beverage is perfect to sip on an island, but it’s great on the mainland, too.
Ginger Passion Martini
Ingredients
¼ oz. cranberry juice
4 oz. vodka
