The El Dorado

El Dorado Kitchen is the originator of this great summer cocktail

Ingredients for two Martini’s:

  • Orange Grey Goose (or Absolut Orange): 4.5 oz
  • Lillet Blanc: 2.5 oz
  • Orange
  • Regular Ice
  • Martini Glasses.
  • Cherries w stems… ideally fresh cherries in season but maraschino will do
  1. Fill martini shaker with regular ice cubes.
  2. Add the booze
  3. Shake the shaker 7-10 times, don’t over shake, you will water down the spirit.
  4. Carve out a nice piece of orange peel/rind for each. Zest over the glass rims. Make sure to get the essence on to as much of the inside of the rim of the glass as you can
  5. Pour into the two glasses
  6. Pop in the cherry or two
  7. Enjoy.

Way to screw this up: use other orange vodka’s… they dont seem to work.(except Absolut)
