Review

This "Martini" would be more accurately named a Wasabi Vodka Sour, but besides the now-dated name, this child of the early noughties is balanced with attractive spicy heat and a zesty finish.

Approached this with some trepidation, but it's great! The wasabi is the main event, spicy and almost salty, but nicely balanced by the lemon juice. Used a budget wasabi paste (which is largely horseradish, inevitably), so I'll have to get some good stuff for the next try - and seaweed for that garnish!
