The Martini is the classic cocktail and 6 O'clock gin have provided the best way to create one using their vermouth and dry gin.
Jekka's have known, 6 O'clock Gin, or by their other name Bramley and Gage, for a long time. Before we started the Jekka's edition of their gin we provided the herbs for their vermouth and we love the taste of it.
Their vermouth is made using 12 specially selected botanicals and fruits. This includes wormwood, herbs, fruits and spices. They are infused in a dry wine for a distinct aromatic flavour.
The 6 O’clock Gin Martini
Ingredients:
- 6 parts London Dry Gin
- 1 part Dry Vermouth
- A simple garnish of your choosing to finish things off
Steps:
- Stir the ingredients down over plenty of ice for at least 30 seconds. This allows the gentle, controlled dilution and a refreshingly crisp chill to the final drink.
- Then strain your concoction into a well-chilled coupe or martini glass and garnish with a simple twist of lemon, peeled and twisted over the glass to allow any escaping oils to spritz the surface of the drink.
The resulting cocktail should be crisp, clean and warming from the first sip to the last.
