History

Adapted from a recipe created by Alex Kratena, London, England. Alex's original recipe calls for Del Maguey Chichicapa mezcal.

Review

This pale pink cocktail looks delicate and indeed is delicately balanced with a wisp of mezcal smoke. Even if you forgo the infusion and use unflavoured blanco tequila it's still a great drink.

Disappointed this is nothing to do with Gloria Estefan. Sigh.

I has to sub the vermouth with Lillet blanc and the tamarind with 10 ml of spiced cranberry concentrate. So, I kinda made a completely different cocktail, but it turned out good

I tried this without the tamarind, hmm, I think next time a little acidity will in fact not be a bad idea! Even shaken with lime juice instead of the tamarind? Maybe reduce the rosato a little too. Will experiment, as I think the rosato needs a little brightness :) Interesting cocktail though!

Any recommendations for a sub for the Rosato? The Martini doesn’t seem to be available any more. Cheers.

Hi Lee. You could try Belsazar Vermouth Rose or El Bandarra Vermut Rose. TheDrinkShop.com has stocks of Martini Rosato, presently with a "sale" price.
