Pomegranate sumac martini. Big flavour. Low effort.

Long week? Need a drink that sounds fancy but requires *just the right amount* of fuss?

Meet the Pomegranate Sumac Martini — sharp, grown-up, and weirdly easy to make.

All you need is a shaker, some decent vodka, sumac and Eager Pomegranate Juice.

Ingredients:

• 60ml sumac-infused Ketel One vodka (how-to below)
  
  

• 40ml velvet falernum liqueur
  
  

• 50ml lime juice
  
  

• 40ml Eager Pomegranate Juice
  
  

• A pinch of sumac, to garnish
  
  

• Ice
  
  

How to infuse the vodka...

(No lab equipment required)

1. Tip 20g of sumac into a large glass or ceramic bowl.
   
   

2. Pour in a full 700ml bottle of Ketel One vodka.
   
   

3. Cover and let it sit for 2 hours, stirring when you remember.
   
   

4. Strain through a mesh sieve.
   
   

5. Pour back into the bottle. Job done.
   
   

(Pro tip: it keeps well, and makes you look like someone who owns a drinks trolley.)
