Okay, this is the last (long) weekend before the Spring semester starts (or whatever other sordid business you are engaged in), so we all know that you totally need this. This triple berry vodka martini is a perfectly balanced drink. Not too sweet, not too strong, and with lots of citrusy flavors going on in the background this cocktail is bursting with freshness. I used vodka, but use gin if you like. Don’t like berries? Use orange or grapefruit or whatever other fruit you like instead. But make the drink, take a sip, and repeat after me: I got this.
