The Bordeaux Martini is a classic cocktail that has been a favorite of bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts for decades. The cocktail gets its name from its deep red color, which is reminiscent of the famous French wine region. Similar to a traditional martini, the Bordeaux Martini is typically served in a martini glass and garnished with a slice of lemon. However, unlike a traditional martini, the Bordeaux Martini is made with a blend of vodka and Lillet blanc, which gives the cocktail a unique and refreshing flavor.
