Elderflower Martini with Brockman's Tonic - Muriel's Belfast

Elderflower Martini with Brockman's Tonic made in Muriel's Belfast. We love our Martini Cocktail so we had great fun mixing it up with different drinks. On the day we tried Dry Martini, Espresso Martini and a few other cocktail recipes - there might have even been a vodka martini recipe! The Elderflower Martini would be seen as a pre dinner drink as it helps clean your palate due to the lemon and Elderflower combination. The Recipe for this martini is all about elderflower liqueur, gin, dry vermout, and lime juice; all these ingredients are added together in a shaker and shaken well until they are ice cold, then they could be served. It is really well worth a try! There are different martini cocktails out there - and actually, there are lots of those which we fell in love with =) - but because we could not drink that much all at the same time during our visit to the Muriel's bar, we choose the Elderflower martini with Brockman's tonic and the espresso martini - which of course all the coffee lovers will definitely choose at this place. The Espresso Martini was the second Cocktail we have chosen after the elderflower one. The espresso martini is a cold alcoholic drink which consists of vodka, espresso coffee, coffee liqueur, and sugar syrup - this is not considered a true martini but it has always been considered one of those different drinks that incorporate the name "martini" in them - regardless of the name, it is a must try for those who love coffee and at the same time want to try a different kind of alcoholic drink. For me, what I always feel more excited about when it comes to those alcoholic drinks that am served at a bar is the way the bartender tends to prepare them, garnish everything, and then serves it as neatly as possible, and that was exactly what happened at the Muriel's bar when they were serving me my martini. A massive thanks to the team at Muriel's Bar in Belfast - we had an amazing time there and were well looked after. Be sure you visit next time you are in Belfast! Muriel's bar is located in a side quiet street in Belfast city centre and being in Belfast's city centre then there must be some important and magnificent destinations and attractions that tourists coming to spend their vacation in Belfast should place on their lists and should definitely check. From those attractions in Belfast's city centre which tourists could check before searching for Muriel's bar and trying one of the different martini cocktails that it offers, there is Belfast City Hall (   • City Hall Belfast - A Tour of Belfast City...  ), there is also the Titanic Museum since it is the place where Titanic ship was first created (   • TITANIC MUSEUM BELFAST Discover the Facts ...  ), there is the famous Victoria Square shopping center which we believe is the place for people who are looking forward for a good shopping time (   • Belfast Christmas Market - Belfast Market ...  ), there is also the Ulster Hall, the Waterfront Hall, and the castle court; some of these attractions are considered from the most important when it comes to Northern Ireland tourism but since you will be in Belfast's city centre to taste a martini at the Muriel's bar then you could also visit some of these destinations along. Since we are talking about those different bars which one could get a nice alcoholic drink at, then we should mention our visit to The Spaniard pub in the Cathedral Quarter in Belfast where we learned to make and prepare the dark and stormy cocktail that is mainly about dark rum (   • Video  ), and we should also mention the visit we once paid for the Lakeside Bar & Restaurant at the KillyHevlin Hotel in County Fermanagh where we got the chance to know the recipes for different alcoholic drinks and cocktails, such as the Cinderella mocktail (   • Cinderella Mocktail Recipe - An easy Virgi...  ), the Brandy Alexander cocktail (   • Alexander Cocktail/Brandy Alexander - Lake...  ), the cosmopolitan cocktail (   • Cosmopolitan Cocktail - Lakeside Bar - Nor...  ), the Boatyard Double Gin (   • Boatyard Double Gin Recipe - The Lakeside ...  ), as well as the Whiskey Snapper (   • Whiskey Snapper; Mixed Drinks & Cocktail R...  ), and that comes in addition to trying the local beer brand which is brewed in Fermanagh and which they serve, called Inish Mac Saint (   • Inish Mac Saint - Lakeside Bar & Grill, Ki...  ). There are lots and lots of places, restaurants and bars which we would love to recommend to the tourists coming to visit Northern Ireland and even those Irish people who are searching for new places which they could hang out in and in which they could try different cocktails and drinks, and that was the reason why we are choosing those different bars in Belfast and all over Northern Ireland, trying their drinks, and coming back to you with our experiences and the different cocktails we have tried and enjoyed.
