What's better than Ikea? What's better than a martini? It's a little item I call the Ikeatini. I microwaved a tablespoon or so of Ikea's lingonberry preserves until it was in liquid form and added it to a Bombay (plain, not Sapphire) martini. First couple of sips, meh. Why'd I bother? But the longer it sat, the better it tasted. If you try this at home, you might want to let the jam infuse the gin. Warning: there will be sediment in your glass so if you are not into that, do not try this at home.
