A spin on the classic vodka cocktail, only four ingredients are needed to create this pistachio martini. Pistachio liqueur brings a salty earthiness flavor, heavy cream brings a smooth texture and a splash of simple syrup is added to the mix to balance out the strength of the alcohol. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
