Cocktails: Chili Passion Fruit Martini
Cocktails is a Tablecrafter series on updated versions of classic alcoholic drinks.
Shaken not stirred, as a famous British spy used to say. But his martinis were never this cool — or should we say hot? The classic martini gets turned on its head and updated: instead of the clean classic flavor associated with the cocktail, we use floral passion fruit and chili for a piquant kick. The flavors of our martini slowly unfolds on the palate, letting you appreciate the passionfruit and chili individually. When you feel particularly adventurous or bonding over drinks, try our chili passion fruit martini for a change.
