Cocktail Description
A liquid love letter to bourbon, this floral twist on a classic brings warmth and sophistication to the martini family.
The Blooming Bourbon Martini creates an intriguing balance where Buffalo Trace's rich caramel and vanilla notes find surprising harmony with St-Germain's delicate elderflower sweetness. Angostura bitters provide structure with their complex spice, while a whisper of rose water adds an unexpected aromatic quality that lingers beautifully on the finish. This cocktail shines as a pre-dinner drink during spring and early summer evenings, though its bourbon backbone makes it equally welcome on cooler nights. It's surprisingly approachable to make at home, requiring just a proper shake and fine strain for the perfect silky texture. The Blooming Bourbon Martini pairs wonderfully with charcuterie boards featuring aged cheeses and honey, or with grilled peaches drizzled with maple for a dessert pairing.
