As with all Martinis, striking a perfect level of dilution and achieving an ice-cold serving temperature (helped by chilling/freezing all ingredients...
This is an amazing martini. Took some time to find a store locally that sold the Olive Bitters. Did find and we tried the martini both with and without the olive garnish.
Like using the Difford's Margarita and Daiquiri bitters, the Olive Bitters brings the cocktail to a level higher. There is a slight olive and garlic hints, but does not overpower the cocktail.
Will definitely be trying other martini recipes and add the Olive Bitters.
Thanks for your reply... the link as I see it is still to the (as you say equally impressive) celery gin. There's nothing else for it, I'll have to try it with both as well as giving the olive bitters a try!
Hi Alistair. That suggests you have selected Celery gin as one of your ingredients so our system has replaced this as the gin you see. If helpful, by the end of next week we will be selling Rutte Dry Gin directly ourselves for delivery in the UK.
This recipe calls for Rutte Dry Gin and correctly links to dry gin. Rutte also makes a very tasty Rutte Celery Gin and this recipe would taste great using this.
