My blog followers know how I love Sushi! I never pass up the chance to partake. Well I have never been a lover of sake (One bad experience is all it takes!) So how about a drink designed by sushi experts RA Sushi to Celebrate! It is not even June and I am already ready for this treat! The blueberries make it healthy right?
ATLANTA (May 11, 2010) – Atlantans can celebrate Independence Day with a Stars and Stripes Martini, a refreshing patriotic cocktail offered at RA Sushi in Midtown during Fourth of July weekend. From Friday, July 2 to Sunday, July 4, guests can cool off from the summer heat at RA Sushi with a Stars and Stripes Martini ($7), or shake up this recipe for a Fourth of July pool party.
The Stars and Stripes Martini is a light and crisp blend of summer fruit, including lemon, raspberries and blueberries. A festive, striped cocktail it is the ideal all-American drink for toasting to independence!
Muddle blueberries with the Blue Curacao in a martini glass. Place a lemon wheel slice over mixture. Pour vodka, simple syrup, a splash of lemon-lime soda, and lemon juice in a martini shaker. Shake and strain over the lemon in a martini glass. The mixture will layer. Drizzle Chambord down the side of the glass. It will layer in between the vodka and blueberry mixture creating a striped appearance; garnish will float to top.
