Preparation of the Martini
Begin by preparing your ingredients early in the day: pour the Bombay Blue Sapphire gin and dry vermouth into a cruet and place it in the freezer. Ensure the cruet has a stopper to maintain optimal chill. This method prevents dilution and maintains the cocktail’s integrity. -
Chill the Glass
Just before serving, take an iced large martini glass and drop in two ice cubes. This will help keep the martini at the perfect temperature while adding a slight chill to the drink. -
Assembly
With the glass prepared, gently pour the chilled gin and vermouth mixture directly into the glass over the ice cubes. Be careful not to shake or stir; the goal is to keep the drink smooth and pristine. -
Garnish
Carefully add your choice of garnish—a jalapeño-stuffed olive, lemon-stuffed olive, or a large pickled onion for a touch of sophistication. The garnish adds flavor and character to the martini. -
Serving Suggestion
Enjoy your Bombay Blue Sapphire Martini responsibly, and consider serving an appetizer alongside it to enhance the experience. Remember, this drink is indulgent, so one is truly enough to savor the moment. -
Repeat
If you wish to make additional servings, simply repeat the steps for as many martinis as you desire, ensuring each glass is as delightful as the first.
Indulge in the elegance of this martini, and elevate your cocktail experience with the perfect blend of flavors and sophistication!
