The month of love is almost here. And to help you celebrate is a delicious drink created by Colin Appiah, Brand Ambassador for U’Luvka Vodka. Pair this beautiful drink with shrimp cocktail, and follow with chocolate cake, or (angel food cake if you want to keep it light), with raspberry sauce, topped with whipped cream and a bubble bath. Trust me, you cannot go wrong here.

U'Luvka Solomon's Seal Martini

SOLOMON’S SEAL cocktail recipe from Colin Appiah, U’lvuka Brand Ambassador

Solomon’s Seal is known as The Star of The Wise, a six pointed star, two overlapping equal triangles that map the position of the major stars of the heavens. It symbolizes the union of Fire and Water, Heaven and Earth, two becoming one. This cocktail has six ingredients mirroring the six points of the star.

1 oz Raspberry Puree

2 oz Strong Earl Grey Tea

Soda Water

Steps:

Shake the first 5 ingredients on rock ice and strain into a martini, or ice filled highball glass. Top with soda water and garnish with fresh raspberries.
