Vodka and sea buckthorn, the bright orange berry of the Swedish coast. Tangy, vivid and full of life, with a citrus lift and a long finish. Vodka 51 Connoisseur Reserve keeps the tang silky rather than sharp.

How to make it

Chill a martini glass.

Shake all ingredients hard with ice for about 10 seconds.

Double strain into the chilled glass and set a few berries beside it.

From the Master Blender

Sea buckthorn is naturally sharp, so balance it with syrup and taste as you go. A short, hard shake keeps it lively.
