Dolin Blanc Martini

Introducing the Dolin Blanc Martini – a chic twist on the classic that's all about elegance without the chest hair bravado. Swap out the juniper-forward dry Martini for a more balanced experience using Dolin Blanc, a French vermouth with soft apple, citrus, and elderflower notes. Paired with Portobello Road Navy Strength Gin, this cocktail epitomises sophistication. Stirred with ice, strained into a chilled Martini glass, and garnished with lemon peel, it's a beguiling blend that stands testament to Dolin Blanc's charm. 

Dolin Blanc Martini

2 ounces Portobello Road Navy Strength Gin

1.5 ounces Dolin Blanc Vermouth

Optional, (not essential): 4 - 6 drops of rose water, 4 dashes of Moroccan Bitters

Lemon peel for garnish

Directions

1. Using a bar spoon, stir everything with ice until well chilled and diluted in a mixing glass, usually vigorously for a solid 20 seconds or more.
2. Strain into a chilled Martini glass.
3. Squeeze the lemon peel above the glass to express the oils. Run the peel over the rim, and then throw it in your drink for good measure. Drink cold.
