It’s time for, Martini Shots with James! If you just finished listening to the Dr. Strange episode but want to hear about the Strange Summer Sipper again or have the recipe at the ready to make here it is in all its glory!

Ingredients & Directions:
1) You will need to steep butterfly pea flowers (can purchase on Amazon) in white rum for 4 days - you can pour this into a mason jar & seal it. *Every 500 milliliters or so of rum you will need 10-12 flowers - so you’ll use about 14-15 flowers per bottle.*

2) After steeping the butterfly pea flowers for 4 days in a sealed vessel and stored in a cool dark place, you should find that you now have a dark blue rum!

3) Then take a high ball glass with lots of crushed ice
Add 1.5 ounces of the now blue rum
Add half ounce of simple syrup
Add Half ounce kersh (cherry brandy) & just stir a little

4) Take half ounce of lemon juice and Quarter ounce of lime juice in a shot glass & slowly drizzle over blue rum
* It’ll change color to be a bright magenta
*You can also top it off with clear lemon lime soda or carbonated beverage

5) If you want to take it to the next level you can use maraschino cherry as garnish or candied hibiscus flower (also purchase on at liquor stores & Amazon).
