Thank you from Janel Kesten, graphic designer extraordinaire, for this one - a mighty tasty one indeed. (You can find her beautifying the Cape’s marketing collateral with simple yet contemporary designs at New England Reprographics in West Yarmouth, MA, when she isn’t out and about drinking martinis…)

Janel says, “This martini is great because it’s easy to make (measuring is optional) and smooth to drink. Bonus: it reminds me of summer all year round.”

Janel’s recipe is as follows:

1 oz. Skyy Melon Vodka
2 oz. Marie Brizard watermelon liquor
2 oz. Orange Juice
Squeeze a lime

Put some ice in a shaker and add ingredients. Shake and pour into martini glass. Squeeze a lime, and use one for a garnish.

Some helpful hints when making this martini and others:

If you break the glass, by accident, or if in Russia, on purpose:
Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little broken glass pieces.
The fibers catch ones you can’t see!

If you are a Techie and a Foodie, then you need to watch this video. Chef/mad scientist Dave Arnold of the French Culinary Institute has figured out how to vacuum infuse a martini inside a cucumber.
