Hasty Martini

Dry, Aromatic, Punchy.

Ingredients

2/3 Nicholson London Dry Gin

1/3 French Vermouth

4 Dashes of Grenadine*

1 Dash of Absinthe


*We create our own Grendine by reducing one bottle of Pom Wonderful pomegranate juice in a pan for 15 minutes over a low heat (other premium pomegranate juices would also do the trick - just a personal preference!).

Method

1. Grab a cocktail shaker, strainer, ice and a cold glass.

2. Pour your Nicholson London Dry, Vermouth, and Grenadine into the shaker and half fill with ice.

3. Shake vigorously for around 10 seconds and strain twice into a frosted / pre-chilled vintage 'Nick and Nora' cocktail glass.

4. The trick with the absinthe is to use it as a rinse, or a mist. Either spritz over the cocktail or swish around the glass. A bartenders trick, for a little finesse.


No garnish required.
