While it may be winter in the rest of the nation, here in sunny South Florida, spring is already in the air—especially at Daniel Boulud’s new Miami restaurant, Boulud Sud {255 Biscayne Boulevard Way, Downtown Miami; 305.421.8800}. For a cocktail that lets you “cheers” to the floral season, try Boulud Sud’s White Cosmopolitan martini, and then use the recipe below to make it at home. Enjoy!
Combine 1 3/4 ounces Ketel One Vodka, 1 ounce white cranberry juice, 3/4 ounce lime juice, 1/2 ounce St. Germain Elderflower, and 1/4 ounce simple syrup into a shaker. Shake and strain into a carafe. Serve the drink in a martini glass, with the orchid ice ball in the middle. (Pro-tip: Don’t forget to freeze your orchid flower into an ice ball ahead of time.)
Happy dining!
