Earl Grey Dry Martini

Ingredients

• 2oz Flivver Vodka
• 0.75oz Lady Grey
• 0.5oz Dry Vermouth
• Lemon Twist

Method

1. Stir all liquid ingredients with ice in a mixing glass until very cold
2. Single strain into a chilled Martini glass
3. Garnish with lemon twist

Garnish
Peel a strip of lemon and cut into a long rectangle. Twist over the drink, then sit it on the rim. It’s important not to drop the Twist in the cocktail when making a Martini, as the bitter, tingly pith and oils can take away from the delicate subtle flavours within the drink and overpower the palette.

Notes
Sweet up front but decidedly dry at the finish, with fragrant lemon oils, this one is for the serious vodka connoisseurs. The rich, creamy vodka base is gently uplifted by a sweet and tannic Earl Grey and a delicate dry aromatized wine finish from the vermouth give this drink a rollercoaster of flavour.
