Chef Michael Saab is back with a new drink, but this time, with makdous.<\/p>    <p><\/p>    <p>The Makdous Martini might not be one of his proudest creations (given that Michael decided NOT to share the recipe), but we&#8217;re honestly willing to give it a try. We&#8217;re not sure how he created it, but it looks like he went the vodka martini route rather than the classic gin.<\/p>    <p><\/p>   <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DQmhXGYDPuL\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe>   <p><\/p>    <p>We need Michael to confirm whether this is the correct recipe: C\u00eeroc vodka (this specific brand makes vodka from French grapes), dry vermouth, and makdous.
