To celebrate Celebrity Cruises’ 20th anniversary, Junior Merino, known as the “Liquid Chef,” created this martini to be served exclusively on Celebrity cruise ships. The fruity cocktail concoction can be found in the line’s Martini Bar and Molecular Bar. It’s a sweet mix of pear-flavored vodka and Champagne that’s infused with rose, lime, and (surprise!) sage, then topped with an unforgettable passion fruit-flavored foam. One sip, and we had to have the recipe.
We were excited to learn that the foam — which would certainly be the hardest part to duplicate at home — is something you can buy online. Celebrity shared the drink recipe, and a link to a source for the foam, with us, and we expect it will be a huge hit at our next party … and yours, too.
