A fruity blend with a hint of refreshing lemon, the Venus In Furs cocktail hides a fascinating balance under the guise of simplicity. It’s a combination of lemon vodka, cranberry vodka, apple juice, and Angostura bitters. Venus In Furs is usually garnished with strawberries. Many bartenders recommend matching the garnish to the season – you can choose raspberries, blackberries, or even blueberries.
Ingredients
- 40 ml lemon vodka
- 20 ml cranberry vodka
- 120 ml apple juice
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
Preparation
Fill a shaker with ice, then pour in the lemon vodka, cranberry vodka, apple juice, and Angostura bitters. Use a jigger or kitchen measure to accurately measure the ingredients, which will help you maintain the correct recipe and flavor balance of the cocktail. Shake vigorously in the shaker and pour into a highball glass. Garnish the prepared cocktail with strawberries (fresh or frozen). If you don’t have a shaker at home, replace it with a large jar. Fill the jar with ice, pour in all the ingredients (except for the sparkling water!), screw on the lid tightly, and shake vigorously. You know the rest of the steps. Good luck!
