Dry Martini with Lemon Twist

The classic martini is a timeless cocktail that exudes sophistication and refinement. One popular variation of this iconic drink involves the addition of a lemon twist slice, which adds a subtle yet delightful citrusy note to the mix.

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.

How to Make the Perfect Martini with Muckross Irish Gin

Ingredients:

  • 60ml Muckross Irish Gin

  • Fresh lemon peel (for garnish)

Method:

  1. Fill a mixing glass or cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
  2. Add the Muckross Irish Gin and dry vermouth.
  3. Stir gently for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute slightly, enhancing the gin’s botanicals.
  4. Strain into a well-chilled martini glass.
  5. Cut a thin strip of lemon peel, carefully avoiding the white pith.
  6. Twist the lemon peel over the glass to release its fragrant oils.
  7. Garnish the martini by placing the lemon twist on the rim or floating it delicately in the drink.
  8. Serve straight up and savour the perfect balance of botanical richness and citrus sparkle.
