Berry Fusion Martini
No, not THAT Berry!
A lot of the martini style drinks are, in fact, very different in nature from the classic formula. For one, many of them are shaken, when martinis are strictly stirred (unless you’re a British secret agent.) Secondly, most of the new, trendy martini variations are sweet, as opposed to the crisp, astringent taste of the original. Which variety you like, of course, is a matter of preference. Here’s a drink that has the strength of a martini, but the taste of an ice cold fruit juice beverage. This recipe is a little bit brand specific. This is because there aren’t many alternatives to these particular varieties of liquor and liqueurs; it couldn’t be helped.
Berry Fusion Martini - Recipe:
- 1 oz Absolut® Kurant vodka
- 0.5 oz Hpnotiq® liqueur
- 1 oz DeKuyper’s Pucker® Berry Fusion Schnapps
- 1.5 oz cranberry juice
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker half to three-quarters filled with ice cubes. Shake well and strain into a chilled martini or cocktail glass. Garnish with raspberry, blueberry or cherry placed inside the glass.

I’ve never had a drinker who didn’t like how I made their drink, but that’s probably because I never had to make a martini for one of those hardcore martini drinkers.
Those people are usually psychos when it comes to how precisely made their drinks are - half the time, I think they’re just lying about the taste to look like they’re real experts.
Typically though, if you’re serving someone a drink and you know the basics of how to make a drink that has the right balance of strength and flavor, the customers love it every time. Plus, they’re often inebriated, so that helps.
