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.
- 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
- 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
