Three Cheers for the Boston Tea Party Martini

Last week  acclaimed steakhouse Smith & Wollensky celebrated the opening of their second restaurant in Boston.  Now discerning diners can choose to feast at the ‘Castle’ in Back Bay or wharf-side at Boston harbor.  The new restaurant is located on Atlantic Wharf at 200 Congress Street, and boasts both a water-side outdoor patio and an indoor oyster bar.

To kick-off the celebration (and with a nod to their neighbors The Tea Party Ship), Smith & Wollensky created the perfect signature cocktail for their new restaurant – The Boston Tea Party Martini.

Thanks go to the Smith & Wollensky for sharing the recipe with us!

Boston Tea Party Martini

• 3 parts Absolut Wild Tea Vodka
• 2 parts fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 1 part simple syrup

Shake Absolute vodka, lemon juice and simple syrup over ice.
Strain into chilled martini glass and garnish with a twist of lemon.

This is definitely the kind of tea for me – no one will even consider dumping this drink in the harbor.  Enjoy!
