A lemon-drop style martini with an Amazonian acai berry twist. If desired, make a larger batch of the fruit puree ahead of time (minus the vodka) to have on hand “as needed” . . . wink-wink.
INGREDIENTS:
2 oz vodka
2 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp agave nectar
2 Tbsp acai powder (I use Navitas Naturals)
optional: palm sugar for the rim of the glass
DIRECTIONS:
Make the puree: In a cocktail shaker, combine the lemon juice, agave nectar and acai powder. Shake to combine and allow to rest for 10 minutes to form a puree.
To serve: Fill the cocktail shaker with a handful of ice, and pour in the vodka. Shake until completely cold. If desired, add palm sugar to the rim of a martini glass, pour in cocktail, and serve.
