It's flexible, it's fun. It's easy to drink and it's known as a crow pleaser. From the Lemon Drop to the Cosmopolitan, martinis have been invented for every flavor profile under the sun.
The Martini is a go-to recipe that is open to adaptation and variation.
Still, we think the Simple Goodness Sisters Martini stands alone. It's special...

The Simple Goodness Sisters Martini cocktail brings a base spirit, usually vodka, fresh citrus juice, and any of our Simple Goodness Sisters syrups into one glass. It should be served very, very cold, and we do recommend adding one of our very gorgeous floral sugars to your martini glass rim. If you're feeling extra creative and adventurous, try pairing two of the syrups together:
- Lemon Herb + Fresh Lemon Juice = Herbaceous Lemon Drop
- Blueberry Lavender + Berry Sage + Lemon Juice = Mixed Berry & Herbs
- Blueberry Lavender + Rhubarb Vanilla + Lime Juice = Sweet Tart
- Rhubarb Vanilla + Berry Sage + Lemon Juice = Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
- Marionberry Mint + Lime Basil + fresh lime juice = Summer Sweetness
- Rhubarb Vanilla + Fresh Orange Juice = Creamsicle
- Lemon Herb + Fresh Grapefruit Juice =
- Blueberry Lavender + Lemon Herb + Lemon Juice = Blueberry - Lemon Tart
