In the heart of Canberra, as dragon boats slice through the lake, there's a powerful energy that fills the air. Inspired by this vivid scene, we bring you the Pink Dragonfruit Martini – a cocktail as colourful and vibrant as the boats on the water. With its fuchsia pink hue and a contrasting green basil salt rim, it’s as visually striking as it is refreshing. Here’s how to make it:
- 45ml Underground Signature Vodka
- 45ml Dragonfruit (blended)
- 45ml Fresh Lemonade
- Prepare a martini glass by dipping the rim in water or lemon juice, then coating it with the basil salt.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine Underground Signature Vodka, blended dragonfruit, and fresh lemonade.
- Add ice and shake well.
- Strain into the prepared martini glass, and enjoy the burst of colours and flavours!
This vibrant, refreshing martini is the perfect way to channel the spirit of Canberra's dragon boats, making each sip a celebration of summer on the lake.
How to Make Basil Salt: Gather fresh basil leaves, wash, dry thoroughly, and chop into small pieces. Combine basil and salt in a blender and blitz until finely mixed. Dry out the basil salt either in the oven or by air-drying. Store in an air-tight container until ready to use.
