1 oz / 3 cl Purity Gin 34 Old Tom Organic
1 oz / 3 cl dry vermouth
1/2 bar spoon maraschino liqueur
1/4 bar spoon absinthe
3 dashes orange bitters
Maraschino cherry and lemon zest, for garnish
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.
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.
The absinthe is a whisper, not a statement. A rinse of the mixing glass works if you do not have a small measure.
