Last Drop Ornamentini
- Purity Vodka—51 times distilled
- Fresh lemon juice
- House-made cranberry, cinnamon and orange syrup
- Served with a crystallized cranberry rim
"Beyond the wildly imaginative presentation and pour, the house-made syrup combines traditional holiday flavors (cranberry, orange and cinnamon) that are perfectly balanced with the Purity Vodka and fresh lemon juice to create a smooth and refreshing martini. Holiday cocktails often lean towards super sweet peppermint drinks or nightcaps, so we wanted to create a cocktail that started the evening with a surprise and was satisfying to the last drop," says Jon Dils, LON's general manager.
