One of our most popular drinks on the cocktail menu here at the tasting room this summer was the Mad for Martha. My mom, Marty (short for Martha) is famous for her cherry pie, and I took inspiration from that in concocting this recipe. It’s delicious & bright, and accessible too.
Mad for Martha
1½ oz North Shore Vodka
1 oz Cherry Juice (I like Trader Joe’s 100% cherry juice best for this)
½ oz Orgeat (we use Wilks & Wilson)
⅓ oz Fresh Lemon Juice
Club Soda
Shake first four ingredients with ice; strain into chilled coupe or cocktail glass. Top with a splash of soda, and garnish with a lemon curl. Enjoy!
And, if you want a non-alcoholic version, we give you the
Virgin Martha
1½ oz Cherry Juice
¾ oz Orgeat Syrup
½ oz Fresh Lemon Juice
Club Soda
Shake first three ingredients with ice, strain into champagne flute. Top with club soda, garnish with lemon curl.
