Recipe

Botanical Martini

Martini Coupe Moderate

A cold, dry, botanical build for when you miss the ritual of a Martini more than the proof.

Ingredients

Use the bottle style, not only the brand name, when you substitute.

  • 2.5 oz botanical gin alternative
  • 0.5 oz alcohol-free dry vermouth or chilled dry tea
  • Lemon twist or olive

Method

Small technique choices matter more when there is no alcohol carrying the drink.

1 Chill the glass
2 Stir the liquids with ice until very cold
3 Strain into the glass
4 Finish with lemon oil or an olive.

Finish: Lemon twist or olive
