Non-alcoholic vanilla vodka makes a splash
Vodka is the hardest spirit to make zero proof, as it’s neutral flavour and charm come almost 100% from the alcohol. Without it, vodka basically becomes filtered water. Strykk Not Vanilla Vodka is a new product from the London based non-alcoholic brand, and it’s vanilla-bean flavour and light bite are a worth grabbing a bottle for. It’s a great complement to amaretto in a birthday cake martini like this one.

½ tsp simple syrup (OPTIONAL if your amaretto isn’t sweet enough)
Preparing your non-alcoholic martini
Dip the rim of a martini glass into the simple syrup, and then into the vanilla sugar.
Hold upside down for 30-45 seconds to prevent the syrup from dripping down the glass. If desired, pop into the refrigerator to chill.

Add ice and shake again very briefly to chill.
Strain into a martini glass with a hawthorne strainer (not the top of the standard shaker).
