A beautiful cocktail recipe, perfect for celebrating the next full moon
While I was on my road trip, I woke up in the middle of the night because the moon had totally illuminated my sleeping spot — turns out it was a ginormous full moon, hanging low in the night sky. Totally breathtaking. It was just an impactful, yet simple moment thats stuck with me. When I returned, I was so movedby this memory that I asked our recipe contributorClaire McAleeseto whip up a martini inspired by tonight’s full moon. Meet your new favorite cocktail: The Full Moon Martini. It’s fancy, yet easy to make and soooo tasty.
