Chef Marcus Samuelsson recently joined forces with Skyy Vodka to create a menu of drinks rooted in classic cocktail recipes (think gimlet, martini, and punch) but spiked with modern flourishes, like ginger syrup and hibiscus-infused tea. Our pick of the litter — this simple vodka sangria. Try it for yourself tonight.
Ingredients
• 2 cups Skyy Vodka
• 2/3 bottle white wine
• 2 ounces lime juice
• 8 ounces orange juice
• 8 ounces apple juice
• 1 mango, cut into cubes
• 2 pears, cut into cubes
• Pear and strawberry for garnish
Soak fruit in juices and vodka for two hours to overnight (feel free to add more vodka for a stronger drink). Stir together in a pitcher and serve in wine glass. Garnish with pear and strawberry. Yields six cocktails.
