Guinness Martini Instructions
Looking for a unique and delicious cocktail that will impress your guests? Try the Guinness Martini! This twist on a classic martini combines the rich flavors of Guinness beer with smooth vodka for a drink that is both refreshing and indulgent.
To make a Guinness Martini, start by chilling a martini glass in the freezer. Next, pour 2 ounces of vodka into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake the vodka vigorously to chill it. Once the vodka is chilled, strain it into the chilled martini glass.
Next, open a can of Guinness beer and carefully pour it into the martini glass, allowing the beer to flow gently over the back of a spoon to create a layered effect. The Guinness will settle on top of the vodka, creating a visually stunning cocktail. Garnish with a slice of lime or a sprig of mint, if desired.
For best results, it is important to use very cold ingredients when making a Guinness Martini. Chilling the glass and the vodka in the freezer beforehand will help ensure that the cocktail stays cold and refreshing.
The layered effect of the Guinness on top of the vodka is achieved by pouring the beer slowly over the back of a spoon. This technique allows the beer to gently float on top of the vodka instead of mixing with it.
Best served in a Cocktail Glass.
