RECIPE: The Scottish Martini
The Martini is American.
It’s also London-driven, with many reaching for those stalwart, dry gins like Plymouth.
Have you had a Scottish Martini yet?
We advise you to grab a bottle of Caorunn gin. Carefully crafted in the Scottish Highlands, Caorunn expertly infuses five, locally foraged, botanicals. It has the rugged charm you’d normally associate with Scotland’s more known spirit––ahem, Hi, Scotch. Yet, this spirit is beautiful, bracing, urban and sophisticated.
Let’s call it a little London calling on the Moors, shall we?
We recently teamed up with Caorunn for an event here in New York City and served their Scottish Martini. They were kind enough to share the recipe, as well as one more. This week, try out a yellow Negroni.
As they say in Islay, “dheagh shlà inte!”
Or, “to your good health.”
Measure gin and dry vermouth into mixing glass with ice and stir. Strain into Martini glass. Express lemon peel over drink. For a fun twist, discard and garnish with fresh apples slices.
Measure all ingredients into mixing glass with ice and stir. Strain over large ice cube in a rocks glass. Express lemon peel and drop into glass.
