I think, it is probably safe to say that Martini is not just a classic, but legendary cocktail. It remained popular through decades, inspired countless riffs and almost everyone has its specific way of making it. Valencia Martini is a tasty Mediterranean take on this classic.
Base of the cocktail remains true to the original with strong dose of London dry gin and its signature notes of juniper, coriander and subtle citrus. A touch of fino sherry lightens and tames the base with light, crispy acidity and floral tones. Lastly, a couple of dashes of orange bitters seasons the cocktail and elevates the overall flavour complexity for the most pleasurable drinking experience.
Valencia Martini is perfect Martini for the summer, crisp, cold and refreshing while, at the same time, providing that boozy kick. It is a must try for cocktail lovers.
