50:50 Martini

By megan croall

The 50:50 Martini is a great way to enjoy a classic The Botanist Martini experience but with a slightly lower ABV. It’s less intense than a Dry Martini but still allows the aromatics of the vermouth to play perfectly with the balanced botanical notes of The Botanist.

Ingredients:

45ml/1.5oz The Botanist
45ml/1.5oz dry vermouth (chilled from the fridge)
Classic garnish: lemon peel twist
Local or sustainable garnish: lemon balm

Instructions for making the 50:50 Martini cocktail:

Fill a Nick and Nora glass with ice and set aside
Fill a mixing glass with 2/3 good quality ice cubes, add all the ingredients and stir continuously for at least 30 seconds to allow a small amount of dilution from the ice
Empty the ice out of the glass
Strain into your chilled Nick and Nora glass
Garnish with a lemon twist or lemon balm

Our Foragers will pick white and red clover, wild thyme, meadowsweet and the aromatic Lady's bedstraw this month.

With only a few hot days on Islay in June, James and Kate are hoping for warmer days in July. Lady's bedstraw needs to be bone dry when they bring it in to prevent discolouration, and clover needs picked when it's warm enough to get the nectar flowing into the flowers to get the best out of them.

We're sure James and Kate aren't the only ones hoping the best of summer is yet to come.

We’ve entered our silent season. This “spirit safe”, where we usually collect the gin that’s running off the still, will stay quiet for a few weeks.

Until late July, we will be doing essential maintenance around the distillery. Our gin still, “Ugly Betty” will be getting the attention of the coppersmiths and our boiler will be serviced. It coincides with the time of year when the water in Bruichladdich burn which we use for cooling the condensers is at its highest temperature and it’s lowest volume, so it makes sense to stop production for a spell each summer.

In addition, the whole distillery will be closed tomorrow so that our staff can be put to work in the community. From Thursday, we’ll be open again as usual from 11-5, seven days a week. Our distillation tours will be more like talks and will be offered free of charge during this period of disruption. You can still book in via our tours page on the website.

Hope to see you!

Fancy a Martini with both style and substance?

We caught up with legendary bartender Alessandro Palazzi of Dukes Bar, London, to find out why he thinks The Botanist makes an exceptional Martini.

If you’ve experienced The Botanist Martini at Dukes we’d love to see your photos! If not, perhaps this World Martini Day, it’s time to give it a try…
