We don’t know what to say here. We all feel pretty helpless. The people at UNICEF seem to know how to help the kids in Ukraine, Gaza & Armenia (amongst, sadly, many other countries).

MARTINI RUSSO

INSPIRED BY Russ from Scooch – Flying the Flag (UK, 2007)
Martini Russo cocktail

Oh Russ. Oh Russ from Scooch. He’s sort of our hero. Russ, this one’s for you!

The sweet Chambord in this cocktail cuts right through the vodka, making it surprisingly smooth and easily drinkable. We liked this one so much during the taste test we made ourselves another one. 

STRENGTH: 4/5 | SWEETNESS: 2/5 | DIFFICULTY: MEDIUM
