Sambuca Martini Recipe Video

This martini was created for…. you guessed it….Bob. He’s Bob Sawyer, one of the guys at greendoginteractive.com and is largely responsible creating for this great website of ours. Bob enjoys scotch as well as sweet cocktails with a citrus note. I also happen to know he and wife, Holly, have a little herb garden, so came up with this scotch whiskey libation that includes rosemary and some slightly sharp overtones with redcurrant jelly.
