Cocktails
Dry Martini
The Martini is Rachel’s favourite way to drink Sky Wave Gin; she even prefers it to the classic G&T. Sky Wave Signature London Dry Gin adds a fabulous extra dimension to this classic cocktail, with its slightly spicy lingering finish – take it as dry as you dare – and our Liberation edition is also wonderful in this, the most famous of all cocktails. But our most fabulous Martini gin is our cask-aged limited edition – just incredible.
The Martini screams of sophistication, from the heady style of the 1920s through to its iconic status as James Bond’s drink of choice – although we believe it should be stirred, not shaken – sorry James!
You will need:
- 75 ml of Sky Wave Signature London Dry or Liberation Gin or, best of all, Sky Wave Cask-Aged Gin
- 15ml of Vermouth (we favour Lillet Blanc, which is slightly sweeter, but you may prefer something drier)
- A dash of Sky Wave Grapefruit Bitters
- Ice cubes (not crushed ice)
- A cocktail stirrer (or spoon!)
- A cocktail strainer (the Hawthorne type is ideal)
Method:
- Add some of the ice to the martini glass to chill it whilst you mix the cocktail, or use a glass straight from the freezer
- Mix the Sky Wave Gin, the vermouth and the bitters in a tall thin highball glass with plenty of ice
- Stir vigorously for at least a minute
- Empty the ice (if used) out of your martini glass, and strain your cocktail into it
- Garnish with an olive or a twist of lemon
