There is nothing like a good martini. Being a bubbly kinda gal, I like mine with a little champagne! I love to create those Always5Star cheers moments. So, I came up with a recipe that combined the best of two worlds for an Always5Star Champagne Martini.

Below is the recipe that I am sure will delight all, especially those of us who love our bubbles!

Remember the famous quote from James Bond 007, that a martini is best “shaken, not stirred”!

Then there is the wonderful quote from Sex and The City (HBO series) when Jessica Sarah Parker is drinking a martini she exclaims…. “Every once in a while, a girl has to indulge herself! – Carrie Bradshaw

Cheers to your shaken, ice cold, brimming with bubbles, martini!

Ingredients

• Champagne or sparkling wine 
• 1 oz – Vodka (choose your favorite) 
• 1/2 oz – St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur 
• Strawberries (for garnish) 
• Crushed Ice

Directions

Combine all ingredients except champagne in an ice-filled shaker. Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled martini glass. 

Top with chilled Champagne – pouring slowly as to not have the glass overflow.

Garnish with a strawberry.

Voilà! You are now ready to enjoy a sparkling and tasty martini!!

🌟 For a variation to this recipe, use a sparkling rosé, and garnish with a lime slice
