History

Adapted from J. E. Clapham's excellent Beauchamp, which is based on high-strength London Dry gin (Beefeater Crown Jewel). I've used a split base of gins to introduce old tom gin's amplified botanicals.

Review

A split gin-based 2:1 Dry Martini made all the more flavoursome by splashes of herbal and orange liqueurs.

So spiced, so into cardamom. But the Becherovka is the real game changer. Its sweet, and deep. I love the taste and really like the formula. I was out of my schedule cocktail and this was a revelation - I need to end my bottle of Becherovska.

A spiced martini! No cardamom bitters so added 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom to the mixing glass. Could even halves it next time, though it sat prettily at the bottom of the glass. Meyer lemon worked well as garnish, picking up the triple sec. Improved as it warmed a little and all the herbals emerged, particularly the old Tom.

Yeah this is seriously good! Used a 1/8 teaspoon measure and roughly half filled it, adding directly to the other ingredients, and it balanced nicely.

I love how this cocktail presents itself initially as a richer dry martini, then the sweeter orange and herbal liqueur flavours progressively bloom on the palate. Top stuff!

We did not have cardamom bitters, and used a couple of dashes of orange and fig bitters instead. Light and complex, but ultimately unremarkable.

Spirit-forward cocktails have larger measures of spirituous ingredients and are sometimes described as being “boozy”.

Sherbety lemon. Well-balanced and refreshing, but not really a Martini.

Elderflower and chili spice lead this Margarita, but tequila is given space to shine.

A Bijou with a red bitter liqueur rinse. Orange bitters might suggest an orange zest twist would better suit this cocktail, but the cleansing, drying...
