Jamuntini /Jamun With Gin -Cocktail#FoodieExtravaganza

Jamuntini is Jamun with Gin which is a cocktail with a desi twist.  Jamun or Java Plum /Black Plum is an Indian Blackberry fruit that is purple in color and has a sweet and sour taste. 

When this theme was given by our Host Caroline Williams, for this month's Foodie Extravaganza,  this martini drink immediately  came to my mind and decided to make it, since this fruit is available only during this month.  

A twist to the regular cocktails for all those gin drinking ladies and gentlemen, here is a martini with a sweet and sour taste. This does not require any aerated drink. This is a delicious summer drink and it has a awesome color. Serve this Jamuntini for your weekend party and watch your guest relish in the beauty of this rich purple pinkish color.

60 ML London Dry Gin
7 - 8 Jamuns/Indian Blackberry- pitted
