Celebrate Independence Day with a Stars and Stripes Martini, apatriotic cocktail offered at RA Sushi in Midtown during Fourth of July weekend. From Friday, July 2 to Sunday, July 4, guests can cool off from the summer heat at RA Sushi with a Stars and Stripes Martini ($7), or make it for your own 4th of July celebration at home. The Stars and Strips cocktail is a light blend of summer fruit, including lemon, raspberries and blueberries.

Stars and Stripes Martini Recipe (1 serving)

Muddled blueberries
1.5 oz. SKYY Citrus Vodka
¼ oz. Blue Curacao
¼ oz. Chambord raspberry liqueur
½ oz. simple syrup
1 oz. lemonade
Splash lemon-lime soda
2 juiced lemons

Muddle blueberries with the Blue Curacao in a martini glass. Place a lemon wheel slice over mixture. Pour vodka, simple syrup, a splash of lemon-lime soda, and lemon juice in a martini shaker. Shake and strain over the lemon in a martini glass. The mixture will layer. Drizzle Chambord down the side of the glass. It will layer in between the vodka and blueberry mixture creating a striped appearance; garnish will float to top.
