This weeks episode: HOLIDAY MARTINI & HOLIDAY TURKEY ALTERNATIVES

Ali & Marco talk about:

PAIN IN THE ASS MARTINI

• cardamom pods 6
• marmalade 6 tbsp
• vodka 400ml
• Cointreau 125ml
• lemon juice 4tbsp

This martini I will warn you is like the name suggests a pain in the ass, it requires time and tools and ultimately makes a mess. If you are glutton for punishment here is what you do: crush 6 cardamom pods then melt 6 tbsp of marmalade in a pan, whisk in the vodka. Add the crushed pods and stir for like 2 mins. Take off the heat let it sit and infuse 15 - 20 minutes. Once cooled, strain it so you get the seeds and flecks of orange out. Add 125ml cointreau and 4 tbsp lemon juice then chill. Serve in martini glasses. It says to add more marmalade in the bottom, but we both thought that was gross. You can add a cardamom pod or 2 floating on top but I just think it makes it more of a pain in the ass - kinda like the holidays.
