A sophisticated twist on the classic martini, infused with the warm flavors of saffron and cumin.
Ingredients:
2 oz saffron and cumin-infused vodka
0.5 oz dry vermouth
Lemon twist for garnish
Instructions:
To make the infused vodka, heat 1 cup of vodka with a pinch of saffron threads and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin until just below boiling. Let it cool and then freeze for 24 hours. Strain through a cheesecloth to remove the fat.
Combine the infused vodka and dry vermouth in a mixing glass with ice. Stir until well chilled.
Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a lemon twist.
