A silky, aromatic stirred drink, a cousin of the Martini with Old Tom gin, dry vermouth, a little cherry and a hint of absinthe. Gin 34 Old Tom gives it softness and a touch of sweetness that suits the other quiet flavours.

How to make it

Chill a coupe or martini glass.

Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with plenty of ice and stir for about 30 seconds.

Strain into the chilled glass.

Express the lemon zest over the top and add a cherry.

From the Master Blender

The absinthe is a whisper, not a statement. A rinse of the mixing glass works if you do not have a small measure.
