Vodka and deep blackcurrant, shaken until purple-red and glossy. Rich, dark fruit with a fresh lift of lemon. Vodka 51 Connoisseur Reserve gives the berries a silky, elegant base.

How to make it

Chill a martini glass.

Shake all ingredients hard with ice for about 12 seconds.

Double strain into the chilled glass and rest the blackcurrants across the rim.

From the Master Blender

If you have fresh blackcurrants, muddle two of them with the syrup first. They add a brighter, fresher note to the liqueur.
