HONEY VEIL MARTINI

A delicate, floral martini inspired by spring evenings — crisp, aromatic, and visually captivating. Think of it as a poetic counterpart to the Glasswing.

RECIPE

  • 1½ oz (45 ml) The Botanist Gin
  • ½ oz (15 ml) St-Germain elderflower liqueur
  • ½ oz (15 ml) dry vermouth (Dolin Dry or Mancino Secco)
  • ¼ oz (7 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 drops orange blossom water

Method

  1. Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice.
  2. Shake gently (not too vigorously — you want a satin texture, not dilution).
  3. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass.

Garnish

  1. Float 1 piece of Micro Honeysuckle Flower on top.
  2. Float a small piece of Gold Leaf.
