Marty’s Assistant General Manager, Erasto, was kind enough to share the recipe for two of my favorite drinks at this cozy bar in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.

Black Velvet Martini
Ingredients
Smucker’s Plate Scrapers Raspberry Syrup
3 Parts Raspberry Vodka
1 Part Dark Creme de Cacao

Holding the raspberry syrup over a chilled martini glass, create a zig-zag pattern in the glass by squeezing the bottle and moving back and forth from one end of the glass to other.
Fill a shaker with ice. Add all ingredients. Shake vigorously and pour into syrup lined glass.
