The Art of the Classic Dry Martini with a Lemon Twist
As the bartender pours the chilled Muckross Irish Gin into a sleek martini glass, the liquid shimmers like a promise. A plump, vibrant lemon is selected with care. With a deft twist, its peel releases a burst of aromatic oils, teasing the senses with a zesty, invigorating fragrance.
Placing the lemon twist delicately on the rim of the glass, the bartender completes a masterpiece. As the martini meets your lips, a whisper of citrus brightness elevates the smooth, botanical notes of the gin, creating a symphony of crisp, clean flavours.
Each sip is a journey — a harmonious blend of herbal botanicals, velvety texture, and bright citrus zest. The Classic Martini with a lemon twist is more than a cocktail; it’s an experience that transcends eras, capturing the elegance of the past while captivating the contemporary palate.
