Ingredients
These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:
-
🍸 2 oz vodka – clean base to let colors and flavors shine
-
🔵 1 oz blue curaçao – vibrant blue hue with orange flavor
-
🟣 1 oz black raspberry liqueur (e.g., Chambord) – rich and fruity depth
-
🍋 0.5 oz lemon juice (freshly squeezed) – brightens the profile
-
🍬 0.5 oz simple syrup – balances tartness
-
✨ 1/4 tsp edible glitter (silver, purple, or blue) – for galaxy shimmer
-
🧊 Ice – for shaking and chilling
-
🫐 Blueberries or a lemon twist (for garnish) – optional but beautiful
-
🌠 Optional splash of cranberry juice – enhances layering effect and depth
Instructions
- Step 1:
In a cocktail shaker, add ice, vodka, blue curaçao, raspberry liqueur, lemon juice, and simple syrup. - Step 2:
Add 1/4 teaspoon of edible glitter into the shaker. Choose silver for a starry effect, or use purple/blue to enhance the drink’s cosmic colors. - Step 3:
Shake vigorously for about 20 seconds. The glitter will disperse through the drink, creating a galaxy swirl. - Step 4:
Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass. If you want to create a layered effect, pour slowly and tilt the glass slightly. - Step 5:
Garnish with a lemon twist, edible star glitter, or drop in a blueberry to float like a planet.
Notes
These drinks rely heavily on visual appeal and liquid density for their layered effects and swirls. Here’s how to make it perfect:
-
Chill the glass beforehand to keep the martini cold longer.
-
Add glitter last before shaking for optimal swirl.
-
Always strain thoroughly to avoid diluting your layers.
-
If layering, use a bar spoon and pour slowly for clean separation.
