St Patrick’s Day Candy Martini
Here’s a deliciously fun little something; the St Patrick’s Day Candy Martini. It’s from resident mixologist, Fabio Serafini, at The Ritz-Carlton, Powerscourt Estate in Ireland. The dreamy mix of pear vodka, apple schnapps and lemon grass gets its “Irish flag effect” by setting the glass in crushed ice colorized in orange. So go ahead, celebrate in style.
