MAYFAIR RECIPE: 'THE CONNAUGHT MARTINI' BY THE CONNAUGHT BAR
One of the most iconic cocktails ever, The Martini is a staple at The Connaught Bar thanks in part to the personalisation aspect of its making, and the unique service in delivering it. Our friends at The Connaught Bar have kindly shared their beloved recipe with us, so we can make this special edition at home! Please drink responsibly, and enjoy!
Ingredients
70 ml gin or vodka (we recommend Highclere Castle Gin and Snow Queen Vodka, available via Ellustria)
15 ml dry vermouth
3 dashes of bitters (Connaught lavender, cardamom, ginger, bergamot, tonka signature aromatic bitters. To recreate an aromatic bitter at home, infuse an amaro or high proof spirit with your preferred spice/herb and leave it infuse for 48 hours)
Olives
Lemon
Method
Add the dash of bitters to a frozen Martini glass. Stir the vodka/gin and vermouth in a mixing tin/glass with ice chunks, then serve straight up in your Martini glass. Garnish with olive or lemon.
