Properly Mix A Devil Martini

The devil martini has a standard martini appearance and sweet taste, but the bitter lemon and high alcohol content make this a distinct concoction. The devil martini usually does not have ice in it; olives, onions, a cherry or a twist of lemon usually top off this beverage. Serve this alone or with a sweet or tart dessert to complement the drink like chocolate cake or lemon meringue pie.


Instructions


1. Place a handful of ice into a cocktail shaker. The ice will chill the drink when it's shaken.


2. Pour 1 ounce of Jack Daniels and 1 ounce of white rum into the cocktail glass.


3. Pour 1/2 ounce of triple sec over the ice Jack Daniels and rum in the shaker.


4. Add 3/4 ounce of fresh lemon juice to the shaker and close its cap.


5. Shake the mixture well for about 8 seconds. Shaking with ice will chill the drink.


6. Pour the mixture from the shaker into a martini glass.


7. Garnish the drink with a cherry, onion, olive or a lemon twist for decoration.
