Summertini

26. July, 2006 | by John Moroney | food-drink

It’s hot! 97 in Paris, 91 in Zurich, 90 in Hong Kong, and 89 here in Seattle. It’s far too sultry for the traditional Martini, so we crafted a variation. You will need, or ask your bartender for:

2 ounces Hendrick’s gin (no substitutes!) 3/4 ounce Sauternes

Shake it up with ice made with Volvic water until frost forms on the outside of the shaker. Then garnish with:

A long lemon peel, lots of pith One thin slice of fresh ginger, making sure it soaks in the Martini

Voila! Spicy cumcumbery lemony ginny goodness. Enjoy!
