Radish… in a cocktail? You read that right. Don’t let the idea of root vegetables in your drink turn you away from trying our Pickled Radish Martini. This unexpected cocktail is the perfect balance of tangy and sweet, with a refreshing kick from Boyd & Blair’s Cucumber Vodka. It’s also incredibly easy to make, so you can spend less time mixing drinks and more time enjoying them with your friends and family.
What’s the Deal with The Savory Martini?
One of 2024 and 2025’s biggest cocktail trends appears to be the savory dirty martini. Yes, a radish martini might seem a little outlandish, but is it really that much weirder than the salad-dressing levels of olive brine and blue cheese you see in some martinis? If you’re not into the olives but also don’t want to go full on with a vodka martini, the pickled radish martini is a nice alternative. Plus, its pink color is adorable and delightfully camp, part of the appeal of the martini.
