Our signature serve. The smile is in the glass.
2.5 oz / 7.5 cl Purity Vodka 51 Connoisseur Reserve Organic, kept in the freezer
1/4 oz / 0.75 cl dry vermouth
1 fresh lemon, for the smile
The Smile Martini
Every brand has a moment people remember. Ours is the first sip, and the reaction that follows. The Smile Martini puts that moment in the glass.
Ice-cold Vodka 51 Connoisseur Reserve, a whisper of dry vermouth, and a curved crescent of lemon peel resting on the rim like a smile. The peel releases its oils over the drink, the vodka brings True Smoothness, and the glass tells the story before you have even tasted it.
The Smile Says Everything. Here, it is literally in the glass.
Place a Nick & Nora glass in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
Add Vodka 51 Connoisseur Reserve and dry vermouth to a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir for about 30 seconds, until very cold.
Strain into the frozen glass.
Cut a crescent of lemon peel, twist it over the drink to release the oils, then rest it on the rim so it curves upwards like a smile.
Cut the smile with a sharp paring knife from the widest part of the lemon: a crescent about 6 cm long and 1 cm wide, with as little white pith as possible. Twist it over the glass first to release the oils, then rest it on the rim, curving upwards.
