Celebrate Martini Day this June 19th with a local twist on a classic!
No gin cocktail is more iconic than the Martini, made famous by the likes of James Bond and Sir Winston Churchill. Shaken or stirred there isn’t much of a difference, unless you’re trying to look cool. Spotting a classic Martini is easy, the clarity and two olives are the giveaway in this spirit forward cocktail.
Here’s one with a bit of a homegrown twist and easy to mix!
Cape Town Gin Martini.
INGREDIENTS
- 50ml Cape Town Classic Dry Gin
- 25ml dry vermouth
- 1 green olive or lemon rind
- Ice
PREPARATION
Chill a martini glass with ice. Add all ingredients into a stirring beaker with ice and stir for 20 seconds. Remove the ice from the martini glass and strain the beaker into the chilled glass. Garnish with a green olive or lemon rind. Et voilà!
